Singer Bobby Darin began his career during the heyday of rock and roll in the late 1950s, with his smash hit “Splish, Splash.” But he quickly branched out into other genres, including folk and country, and is now best known for his classic 1959 recording of “Mack the Knife,” which earned him two Grammy Awards. A popular nightclub entertainer, Darin was compared to singing great Frank Sinatra, and like Sinatra, also appeared in several films.
Though Darin quickly followed “Splish, Splash” with another rock and roll ditty, “Queen of the Hop,” he did not wish to rely on the burgeoning genre for his livelihood. He was unsure that rock and roll would last, and felt that teenagers–its primary consumers–were fickle in their affections for performers. So, hoping to attract more mature fans, Darin took the money he made from his first hit and financed an album of standards, titled That’s All. Included on That’s All was a revision of composer Kurt Weill’s song from playwright Bertolt Brecht’s Threepenny Opera –“Mack the Knife.” Released in 1959, “Mack the Knife” did for Darin all that he could have wished, selling over two million copies, and catapulting him to the pinnacle of the nightclub circuit. He became a featured attraction at the most prestigious Las Vegas showcases, such as the Sahara and the Sands, and by 1960 had played the famed Copacabana in New York City.
Darin had other hit records throughout the early 1960s, including “Beyond the Sea,” “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby,” and the country-flavored “Things.” And, unlike many other artists who began their careers with the advent of rock and roll, he managed to maintain his success into the late 1960s, scoring in 1967 with the folk song, “If I Were a Carpenter.”
Darin won two Grammy Awards, 1959. He had an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor for Captain Newman, M.D. ,1963. And Darin was elected posthumously to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 1990.
