About the author

Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert "Bobby" Cassotto) was one of the most popular American big band performers and rock and roll teen idols of the late 1950s and early 1960s.

Darin is widely respected for being a multitalented, versatile performer who conquered many music genres, including pop, jazz, folk and country.

He was also an award-winning actor, songwriter and music business entrepreneur. His wish for a legacy was "to be remembered as a human being and as a great performer." Among his many other contributions, he became a goodwill ambassador for the American Heart Association.
