A gravação de Bobby Darin, lançada em 1959, tornou-se um número um tanto no US e no Reino Unido, consolidando a canção como um sucesso internacional.
O sucesso de Darin trouxe-lhe dois Grammys no 2º Anual Grammy Awards, demonstrando o reconhecimento crítico ao mesmo tempo em que alcançava grande popularidade comercial.
A versão de Ella Fitzgerald recebeu um Grammy em 1961, evidenciando a versatilidade da música em diferentes estilos e a sua aceitação pela comunidade jazz.
A canção foi originalmente composta por Kurt Weill com letras de Bertolt Brecht em 1928 para a peça de teatro musical *The Threepenny Opera*, o que a posiciona como parte da tradição da música de teatro alemão.
Louis Armstrong gravou a faixa em 1955, antes da versão de Darin, com letras traduzidas por Marc Blitzstein, mostrando a evolução e adaptação do tema através de diferentes artistas e idiomas.
