Nominate Bobby Darin
to be on a U.S Postage Stamp!


The U.S. Postal Service accepts nominations for subjects of postage stamps, but it must be done at least 3 years in advance.

In 2009, Bobby Darin's #1 rendition of "Mack the Knife" was 50 years old. It hit the charts in 1959 and stayed at the Number One position for 9 weeks, earning Bobby two Grammy awards, Record of the Year and Best New Artist of the Year.

And so, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of "Mack the Knife" and to continue celebrating Bobby being awarded the GRAMMY'S 2010 LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD, lets help him by writing letters to nominate him for his own postage stamp!

If you would like to write a letter on behalf of Bobby Darin becoming the subject of a U.S. postage stamp, you can read more information about the process here.
