:wrong
BCR’s “Beyond the Sea” together with “Mack the Knife” made Bobby Darin a star. Both objectively charted better than “Dream Lover”
What’s funny about Darin being characterized as a Sinatra lite is that Sinatra’s cover of Mack the Knife is outright cringe in comparison.
Bobby Sherman was a David Cassidy lite. Sherman even appeared on Cassidy’s Partridge Family TV show. Both were TV sitcom teeny bopper heart throbs who cashed in on some pop tunes.
