Bobby Darin [prawdziwe nazwisko Robert Cassotto]-ur.14.05.1936r na Bronxie w Nowym Jorku-zm.20.12.1973 r w Hollywood.Do muzycznego show businesu trafił w połowie lat 50-tych po okresie występów w kawiarniach N.Jorku.Jego debiut singlowy "My first love" był owocem przyjażni z Współautorem i producentem Donem Kirschnerem.
Po nieudanym kontrakcie z Decc± ,w maju 1957 roku wi±że się z Atco,oddziałem firmy Atlantic.
Trzy pierwsze single nagrane dla tej wytwórni przepadły na rynku,natomiast czwarty "Splish splash" dotarł do pierwszej trójki amerykańskiej listy przebojów.Odszedł w nim od dotychczasowego rhythm' n' bluesowego stylu na rzecz nowoczesnej muzyki pop.
Brak kolejnych sukcesów i frustracja temu towarzysz±ca spowodowała nagrania z grup± towarzysz±c± The Ding Dongs dwóch singli "Early in the morning" i "Now we' re one"[# 24 na Billboard].
Nazwę zespołu w międzyczasie zmieniono na The Rinky Dinks a płyty zamiast Brunswick wydała jego macierzysta wytwórnia.
Singiel "Queen of the hop" sygnowany już własnym nazwiskiem odwrócił zł± kartę sprzedaj±c się w przeszło milionowym nakładzie.
Zapewniwszy sobie następnymi nagraniami status uznanego artysty pop diametralnie zmienia styl we własnej wersji przeboju "Mack the knife" B.Brechta i K.Weila z "Opery za trzy grosze" co przynosi mu ogromne powodzenie i now± rolę piosenkarza "ambitnego".
W tym czasie Darin cenił się wyżej od Franka Sinatry co było przykładem popowej arogancji.
W 1960 roku wkracza do filmu zbieraj±c wiele pochwał za rolę w "Come september" [razem z Sandr± Dee,która póżniej została jego żon±],"State fair","Too late blues","If a man answers","Pressure point" czy "Hell is for heroes".
Do muzyki wraca w dobrej formie z dowcipnym nagraniem "Multiplication" i równie pomysłowym "Things".Nagrał również album z piosenkami Raya Charlesa.
W momencie boomu beatowego zwraca się w stronę musicalu i nagrań takich jak "Baby face" czy "Hello Dolly".
Potem wraz z mod± na folk rock w 1965 roku dokonała się jego kolejna metamorfoza,stał się wykonawc± protest songów minn. "If a were carpenter" [Tima Hardina],"The Lady came from Baltimore","Darling be home soon" [Lovin' Spoonful].
Pod koniec lat 60-tych Darin zaj±ł się aktywnie biznesem estradowym,choć nadal regularnie pojawia się w TV.
Przez cały czas swojej kariery niedomagał na serce i po kilku operacjach zmarł w 1973 roku.
