    1959 Top Ten Music Charts

    1959’s Biggest Artists and Songs

    Bobby Darin (1st Best New Artist Grammy Winner, for 1958, awarded in 1959) Bobby’s career started with a songwriting partnership with Don Kirshner. His first hit was written after a bet that he could not write a song that started out with the words, “Splish Splash, I was takin’ a bath.” Splish Splash, his first hit, sold over a million copies.
    Henry Mancini (1st Grammy for Album of the Year) Henry made a name for himself getting the Grammy for the Peter Gunn Theme. He later went on to be nominated for more Grammys and Oscars. Grammy wins included Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Days of Wine and Roses, and The Pink Panther Theme. Oscar wins included  Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Days of Wine and Roses, Victor Victoria.
    Domenico Modugno (Grammy for Record of the Year & Song of the Year) Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu (Volare) was the top song, and Domenico co-wrote it, so he didn’t mind when young singer Bobby Rydell recorded it in 1960, hitting number 4 on Billboard. Bobby’s version is the one most remembered today.
    On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, killed three American rock and roll pioneers – Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson. This was “The Day The Music Died” in Don McLean’s American Pie.
