Bobby Darin – That’s All

Bobby Darin’s sophomore studio album, That’s All, was released in March 1959 and marked a major turning point in his career—shifting him from teen pop idol to a polished crooner with staying power. Arranged and conducted by Richard Wess, this sleek collection includes two of Darin’s most enduring hits: “Mack the Knife” (a #1 U.S. smash) and “Beyond the Sea.” The orchestrations evoke Frank Sinatra-style elegance, backed by top-tier session musicians and produced with precision by Atlantic’s Ahmet Ertegun, Nesuhi Ertegun, and Jerry Wexler. The album peaked at #7 on Billboard’s LP chart and stayed there for 52 weeks, while also charting in the UK.
