Bobby Darin was an American singer, songwriter, and actor. He was a versatile artist who performed a wide range of music genres, including pop, rock and roll, jazz, swing, and folk. One remarkable aspect of Darin's singing style was his ability to seamlessly switch between different vocal registers, from a smooth and controlled baritone to a powerful and emotive tenor.

One of the most distinctive elements of Bobby Darin's singing was his use of rhythmic phrasing. He often played with the melody by using syncopated rhythms and unexpected pauses. For example, in his famous hit "Mack the Knife," he used this technique to create an infectious swing feel that captured the spirit of the song.
