October 5, 1959 – Bobby Darin’s swinging version of “Mack the Knife,” a song about a killer from The Threepenny Opera, hits #1 on the Hot 100 and stays there for an astonishing nine weeks. Darin, who is known for lighter fare like “Splish Splash,” gains a more adult following, putting him on par with Frank Sinatra. #ROCkabillyHop #BobbyDarin #MackTheKnife #RocHop #OTD
