Bobby Darin - Motown Years 1970 to 1973
Thankfully, in the case of Bobby Darin, material that had long been vaulted has been made available over the years - mainly thanks to Joe Marchesse & co [[e.g. Andy Skurrow) who've made it possible for these tracks to see release on CD. The Real Gone CDs have wonderful liner notes as well and are well worth looking up. In particular, "Another Song On My Mind" includes a great resume of Darin's Motown career - much of this can still be seen on the Real Gone website -

Favourite string intros
You're All I Need To Get By - Marvin and Tammi. This string intro sets the scene to start a song where a crescendo progresses to a splendid end.
Getting Ready For Love - Diana Ross. The strings bring great excitement to a lovely upbeat song.
