Notes on Bobby Darin

"Few performers have been as blatantly ambitious, driven, and egotistical as Bobby Darin, who earned the nickname of show business' 'Angry Young Man.' But then few performers have been as talented as this aggressive New Yorker." --From "The Hollywood Songsters" (1991)

Darin was nominated for Grammys in 1959 and 1962, and for an Oscar in 1963 for "Captain Newman, M.D."

Posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1999.
