 A frail '''Walden Robert Cassotto''' entered the world on May 14, 1936 in [[New York City]]. Rheumatic fever as a child would damage his [[heart]], with doctors concerned he wouldn't live much beyond his teens. With an early interest in music, he would master several musical instruments, including the piano, guitar, harmonica and drums. Graduating from high school with a genius-level [[IQ]], he attended college on a scholarship for a year, but would cut short his formal education to perform in small nightclubs in the Bronx and in the Catskill’s.
-At twenty years of age he recorded unsuccessfully for Decca Records and a year later in 1957 signed with Atco Records where the following year a song he wrote, “Splish Splash” leaped to the top of the charts peaking at #3 nationally. Before the year ended he would return with, “Early in the Morning” and a top ten hit, “Queen of the Hop”. 1959 would began with another song penned by Bobby Darin, “Dream Lover” that peaked at #2 and would be followed by his biggest chart topper, the multi million selling worldwide hit, “Mack The Knife”.

 Darin had a wide range of talent and an overwhelming need to make it big in show business, winning two [[Grammy Award]]s in 1960 for “Best New Artist” and “Record of the Year” for “Mack The Knife” that would also become a Grammy Hall of Fame winner.
