A Beverly Hills home once owned by singer-songwriter Bobby Darin and later voice actor Noel Blanc has come up for sale at $8.5 million. The Spanish-style compound, which has a separate guesthouse and a world-class recording studio, was owned by the “Beyond the Sea” crooner during the 1960s. The current owner — a corporate entity tied to B’z guitarist Takahiro “Tak” Matsumoto — bought the property in 2011 for about $3.64 million, records show. The permitted recording studio has been used by such musicians as Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne and Whitesnake. The recording studio — used by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, Carlos Santana and Ozzy Osbourne, among others — sits in the rear.
