- Dick Behrke was a lifelong friend of Bobby Darin’s since they both attended The Bronx High School of Science. He eventually became Darin’s conductor and arranger. He worked on the music for the Darin biopic "Beyond the Sea" and has done other film score work over the years. He recorded five albums with collaborator Bob Thompson as "King Richard's Fluegel Knights" in the late 1960s, which frequently featured the flugelhorn.
