- Inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1999.
- Was portrayed by Kevin Spacey in Beyond the Sea (2004).
- He signed Wayne Newton to his record producing company (TM Music) and had him record "Danke Schoen", which was originally supposed to be recorded by Darin himself.
- His #1 hit song, "Mack the Knife", had a strange connection with the number "59": it was the 59th #1 single of the rock era, it entered the Billboard charts at #59, and was the second biggest-selling record of 1959.
- He lost his hair in his early 20s and wore a toupee thereafter.
