The name of the movie shares the name of this song. It's the story of Bobby Darin's life, Darin being portrayed by Kevin Spacey. Spacey went to the same lengths as Jamie Foxx did in portraying Ray Charles. The movie just wasn't as big of a success, but it was just as good in my opinion. Spacey caught a Golden Globe nomination for his performance, which was negatively reviewed by many.
Darin's version of the song is by far the most popular, but it has been recorded by several other artists. Both Benny Goodman's and Roger Williams' versions made the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 prior to Darin's recording, but Darin's made it all the way to #6. Spacey is singing this version, but he's not even the only actor to take a swing at it. Ewan McGregor and Cameron Diaz took a chance at for the film A Life Less Ordinary.
