Mack The Knife by Bobby Darin Piano, Vocal, Guitar - Digital Sheet Music
By Kurt WeillThis great Brecht/Weill song surely needs no introduction! Written (at the very last minute!) for Brecht/Weill's 1928 'play with music', based on 18th century English satirist, John Gay's, "The Beggar's Opera", the opening song of "The Threepenny Opera" - an unexpected 'mega-hit', running for 2 years in a small 'fringe' theatre in Weimar Republic Berlin, and making the 30-year-old Brecht a millionaire! - has remained the biggest hit from these extraordinary artists. And, following the 1950's Broadway revival, with new English lyrics by Marc Blitzstein, became an even bigger smash with covers by everyone who's anyone in showbiz from Louis "Sachmo" Armstrong to Bobby Darin, 'Ol' Blue Eyes' himself, and on through the millennium (the 100th anniversary of Weill's birth and 50th of his death!), with yet more covers by the likes of Sting and Nick Cave. Like the song, the list goes on ... and on ...!
