In The Still Of The Night - The Five Satins
Dirty Dancing · More Dirty Dancing
I held you, held you tight
'Cause I love, love you so
Promise I'll never let you go
CHORUS
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
I remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I'll hold and I'll pray
To keep your precious love
Well before the light
Hold me again
With all your might
CHORUS
So before the light
Hold me again
With all of your might
CHORUS
In the still of the night
Ohhhh...
Oooo...
Oooo...
In The Still Of The Night - The Five Satins
The Five Satins' 1956 recording of 'In The Still Of The Night' stands as a defining moment in doo-wop history. The group, hailing from New Haven, Connecticut, crafted a hauntingly romantic ballad that captured the vulnerability of young love with remarkable sophistication. Their signature falsetto lead vocal, delivered by Frank Fayad, soared over lush, intricate harmonies that became a hallmark of the genre. The track's emotional depth and smooth delivery helped bridge the gap between early rhythm and blues and the emerging rock and roll sound. As a staple of the soundtrack for the film Dirty Dancing, the song introduced this classic R&B gem to a new generation, cementing its status as an enduring anthem of passion and longing within the broader American music canon.
