Bobby Darin

I first became a fan of Booby Darin in the 1990’s when I heard “Mack the Knife.” “Man, now THAT guy has talent,” I thought. There’s a tonal quality to Bobby Darin’s voice that makes anything he sings sound terrific.

Walden Robert Cassotto, later known as Bobby Darin, was born in May, 1936 in the Bronx, New York. Here’s interesting part of his youth, “It was not until he was an adult that he learned that the woman he thought to be his sister Nina, 17 years his senior, was in fact his mother, and the woman he thought to be his mother was his grandmother.[3] He never knew the identity of his birth father.”

Bobby grew up having serious heart trouble. With the doctor telling him he would likely die early, he always had that in the back of his mind.

Bobby Darin started making hits in 1950s and didn’t stop until the 1970s when he died. An acting career started for him in the 1960s.

Here’s a partial list of the songs Bobby Darin recorded.
