"Beyond the Sea" hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1956 with Roger Williams' instrumental version landing at the #37 position on the chart; Bobby Darin's vocal version was the most popular version and rose to the #6 position in 1960 (Whitburn, 2013). "Beyond the Sea" was based on the 1946 musical composition by Frenchman Charles Trenet, later with English lyrics by Jack Lawrence and first recorded in English by Harry James & His Orchestra with Marion Morgan on vocals in 1947 (pop-culture.fandom.com, 2021); but Benny Goodman's instrumental was the first to climb the US charts in 1948 hitting the #26 position (archive.org, 2021; Whitburn, 1986).
