Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto; May 14, 1936 – December 20, 1973) was an American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor of Italian descent. He performed in a range of genres, including pop, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, folk, and country.
Darin’s signature songs include “Splish Splash” (1958), “Dream Lover” (1959), “Mack the Knife” (1959), and “Beyond the Sea” (1960). These songs were hits on the pop charts. In 1959, Darin won a Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Early Life
Darin was born Walden Robert Cassotto on May 14, 1936, in the Bronx, New York City. His mother, Nina Cassotto (née Simonelli), was a teenaged immigrant from Italy. His father, Van Heusen Award-winning composer and bandleader Richard Cassotto (born Ricardo Cassotto), of Italian and Irish descent, died of rheumatic fever when Darin was two years old.
Darin’s birth certificate lists his father’s surname as “D’Alessandro”, and Darin used this surname until he was seven years old, when he began using his father’s middle name, “Robert”, as his first name. Darin’s older brother, Rick (later known as Dick Cassotto), was also a successful singer and actor.
Darin’s birth certificate indicates that he was born at Bronx Lebanon Hospital in the Bronx, but Darin said in interviews that he was actually born at home, delivered by a midwife.
Career
Darin began singing in public at age six or seven in local talent shows. He started as a drummer in a local band at age 10. He then took up the guitar and began to play in clubs at age 13.
In 1953, Darin signed with Decca Records. His first single, “Rock Island Line”, was released in 1955 and did not chart. His next single, “The Roving Kind”, was a minor hit in 1956.
Darin’s big break came later that year with the release of his single “Splish Splash”. The song reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart. The song sold over one million copies and was awarded a gold disc by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Darin followed up with the release of his album That’s All in 1958. The album peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the singles “Queen of the Hop” and “I Found a Million Dollar Baby (In a Five and Ten Cent Store)”.
In 1959, Darin released his album Dream Lover, which included the title track and “Mack the Knife”. The latter reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won Darin a Grammy Award for Record of the Year.
Darin continued to have success with his next two albums, 1960’s This Is Bobby Darin and 1961’s Inside Bobby Darin. The latter album included the singles “Things” and “Multiplication”, which both reached the Top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In 1962, Darin starred in his first film, Come September, opposite Gina Lollobrigida. The film was a box office success and helped to increase Darin’s visibility as an actor.
In 1963, Darin released his album Darin at the Copa, which was recorded live at the Copacabana nightclub in New York City. The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the single “Beyond the Sea”, which reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
In 1964, Darin starred in his second film, The Loved One, opposite Rod Steiger and Liberace. The film was a critical and commercial failure.
In 1965, Darin released his album If I Were a Carpenter, which peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the title track and “Simple Song of Freedom”.
In 1966, Darin starred in his third film, Dr. Dolittle, opposite Rex Harrison. The film was a box office success and helped to increase Darin’s visibility as an actor.
In 1967, Darin released his album Love Swings, which peaked at No. 43 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the single “If I Were You”.
In 1968, Darin starred in his fourth film, Finian’s Rainbow, opposite Fred Astaire and Petula Clark. The film was a critical and commercial failure.
In 1969, Darin released his album Commitment, which peaked at No. 154 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the single “Don’t Rain on My Parade”.
In 1970, Darin starred in his fifth film, Lucky Luciano, opposite Fortunato Cerlino and Maria Grazia Cucinotta. The film was a critical and commercial failure.
In 1971, Darin released his album Bobby Darin Sings Ray Charles, which peaked at No. 195 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the single “I Can See Clearly Now”.
In 1972, Darin starred in his sixth film, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, opposite Robert Mitchum and Peter Boyle. The film was a critical and commercial failure.
In 1973, Darin released his album Live!, which peaked at No. 188 on the Billboard 200 chart and included the single “Mack the Knife”.
On December 20, 1973, Darin died of heart failure at the age of 37.

1 | Half-brother of Gary Walden. |
2 | On April 24, 1958, just weeks prior to release of his breakthrough hit of "Splish Splash" for Atco Records, Darin recorded "Early In The Morning" and "Now We're One", for Decca Records. At that time, he had a few days left on his contract with Atco and was expecting to be released, but as it turned out, he was retained. Following the release of "Splish Splash", on Atco, Decca, through their subsidiary Brunswick, released "Early In The Morning"/"Now We're One" as a single, under the name of "The Rinky Dinks", Darin's back up girl group, for his Decca sessions. After Darin's voice was easily discovered on The Brunswick recordings and as he was under contract to Atco, his Brunswick recordings were withdrawn from the market and secured by Atco. Atco then , released "Early In The Morning"/ "Now We're One", by "Bobby Darin and The Rinky Dinks". In a subsequent move by Decca Records, Decca had Buddy Holly cover the both songs on a single for their subsidiary, Coral Records, where Holly was already established with such hits as "Peggy Sue and,"Rave On". Decca was hoping to recover the loss from the earlier withdrawn single. Darin's version of "Early In The Morning" entered Billboard's Pop 100 first and peaked at #24, Holly's version reached #32. |
3 | He made his TV debut on March 10, 1956, on The Dorsey Brothers' Stage Show (1954), performing "Rock Island Line". |
4 | Early in his career, while performing "Rock Island Line" on The Dorsey Brothers' Stage Show (1954), he had the lyrics written on the palms of his hands, as he had to learn the song on short notice. |
5 | Seriously campaigned for the role of "Tony" in West Side Story (1961). Ironically, he would wind up winning his only Golden Globe in 1962 for "Most Promising Newcomer" in a virtual tie with with Richard Beymer, who got the role as "Tony" and Warren Beatty, who had also seriously campaigned for the same role. |
6 | He was awarded a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for Recording at 1735 Vine Street in Hollywood, California. |
7 | In 1964, he was "The Heart Ambassador" for The Heart Fund charity. |
8 | Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1999. |
9 | Was portrayed by Kevin Spacey in Beyond the Sea (2004). |
10 | He signed Wayne Newton to his record producing company (TM Music) and had him record "Danke Schoen", which was originally supposed to be recorded by Darin himself. |
11 | 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. |
12 | Recorded with legendary Nashville guitarist Hank Garland. |
13 | Went to the Bronx High School of Science |
14 | He lost his hair in his early 20s and wore a toupee thereafter. |
15 | His maternal grandfather was of Italian descent, and his maternal grandmother had Danish and English ancestry. |
16 | 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 overprotective father wouldn't let her date, let alone marry, anyone. When Darin suggested the two elope, he was chased from one of her shows by her father with a gun. The two only saw one another twice after that incident, once during a television appearance in which the two sang together and once during the filming of This Is Your Life (1952) of which Connie was the subject, 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. |
17 | Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. |
18 | 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 The Greatest: 100 Most Shocking Moments in Rock and Roll History (2001). |
19 | Rather than internment, his body was donated to the UCLA Medical Center. |
20 | Son, Dodd Mitchell Cassotto (aka Dodd Darin), with Sandra Dee. |
