November 29, 1959 – At the second Annual Grammy Awards, Bobby Darin wins Best New Artist and also takes the award for Record of the Year for “Mack The Knife,” which is still at #1 on the Hot 100. This is the first time the event is televised, and also the only time the ceremony is held at the end of the year instead of early the following year, meaning nothing in December 1959 is Grammy eligible. This faux pas is rectified with awards for 1960 given out in early 1961. #ROCkabillyHop @bobby_darin2 #BobbyDarin #MackTheKnife #OTD #RockNRoll #RocHop
