History

Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto, May 14, 1936 - December 20, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, and actor who emerged from New York's Brill Building scene in the late 1950s. He broke through in 1958 with the self-penned novelty hit "Splish Splash," followed by "Queen of the Hop" and the ballad "Dream Lover," both million-sellers. In 1959 he pivoted from teen pop toward jazz-pop standards with a swaggering cover of "Mack the Knife" (from Brecht and Weill's The Threepenny Opera), which won the Grammy for Record of the Year and made him the first-ever Grammy Best New Artist winner. He followed it with "Beyond the Sea" in 1960. Darin also ran a music publishing company, TM Music, with Terry Melcher, and helped launch the careers of Wayne Newton and Roger McGuinn (later of The Byrds). Born with a weak heart and not expected to live past 16, he died at 37 from heart failure. He is a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
