James Darren was a contemporary of Bobby Darin.  One was born in 1936 and the other in 1937 IIRC.  They both became popular in the 1950s, too.  Darin was a singer and songwriter who played several instruments who was also a successful entrepreneur.  Darren was an actor who originally made his name in movies aimed at teenagers.
