Things and Other Things is an album by American singer Bobby Darin, released in 1962. It reached number 45 on the Billboard 200. The single "Things" charted in the Top Five.[1]
Background
Darin had left Atco Records for Capitol when Things and Other Things was released.[2] The songs were taken from different sessions, some of which date back over four years."I'll Be There" was the only Darin original covered by Elvis Presley. "Theme from 'Come September'" comes from the film of the same name, which starred Darin and his future wife Sandra Dee.[1][3]
In his Allmusic review, critic Lindsay Palmer wrote "...the artist's popularity would turn this seemingly monetarily-motivated odds and sods collection into a relatively successful package for the label. The dozen songs were taken from practically as many different sessions, some of which date back over a four-year span (1958 -- 1961)... Although stylistically eclectic, the material hangs together to offer an overview of the musical diversity that had become one of his strongest suits."[1]
