Biography

The son of an Italian-born cabinetmaker, Bobby Darin briefly attended Hunter College, then supported himself as a singing waiter and musician at a Catskills resort. After scratching out a fitfully profitable existence as a commercial-jingle composer, Darin became a professional singer in 1956. He sent a demo record to up-and-coming record executive Don Kirschner, which resulted in a contract. Three flop singles later, Darin half-jokingly recorded a nonsense number titled "Splish Splash"—which turned out to be his first bonafide hit. Not wishing to be typed as a rock-and-roller, Darin adapted the old Kurt Weill/Bertoldt Brecht ballad "Moritat" into the top-selling "Mack the Knife"; this enabled him to break away from the onus of "teenage idol" and broaden his appeal to adults. Darin was eventually picked up by Universal Pictures to star in a series of lightweight but popular musical films, often co-starring his first wife, Sandra Dee. After turning in powerful dramatic performances in Pressure Point (1962) and Captain Newman MD (1963), Darin graduated from pop personality to serious actor; in fact, he was Oscar-nominated for his work in Newman. By the end of the 1960s, however, Darin's star was on the downgrade, and he seemed to have trouble keeping apace of changing musical tastes. Bobby Darin was in the process of making a comeback when he died at the age of 37, following open-heart surgery.

Trivia

  • Son, Dodd Mitchell Cassotto (aka Dodd Darin), with Sandra Dee.
  • Singer.
  • Rather than internment, his body was donated to the UCLA Medical Center.
  • Did not find out until the age of 32 that the woman he thought to be his sister was in fact his mother and and the woman he thought was his deceased mother was in fact his grandmother. This was listed in VH1's '100 Most Shocking Moments of Rock & Roll History'.
  • Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
  • When he was still a struggling songwriter at the now famous Brill Building he met then up and coming singer Connie Francis. After a rocky beginning, the two hit it off and were soon madly in love. He had wanted to marry Connie but her over-protective father wouldn't let her date anyone, let alone marry. When Darin suggested the two elope, he was soon chased from one of her shows by her father with a gun. The two only saw one another twice since that incident. Once was during a television appearance in which the two sang together and the other was during the filming of "This Is Your Life" (1952) centered on Connie in which the announcer had congratulated Bobby on his recent marriage to actress Sandra Dee. Connie has stated several times that not marrying Bobby was one of the biggest mistakes she has ever made in her life.
  • Italian-American.
  • He lost his hair in his early 20s and wore a toupee thereafter.
  • Went to the Bronx High School of Science
  • Recorded with legendary Nashville guitarist Hank Garland.
  • His #1 hit song, "Mack the Knife", had a strange connection with the number "59": it was the 59th #1 single of the rock era, it entered the Billboard charts at #59, and was the second biggest-selling record of 1959.
  • Bobby Darin signed Wayne Newton to his record producing company (TM Music) and had him record "Danke Schoen", which was originally sent for Darin to record.
