“In The Still Of The Night” is a song written by Fred Parris and recorded by his group, Five Satins. It was a moderate hit when it was first released, but over the years, it received substantial airplay and is considered to be one of the best doo-woop songs in the world today.
It has been covered by many artists, including Boyz II Men and Debbie Gibson. It has also been featured in several movies.
This classic was written in 1955 by Parris, but its most unusual trivia fact is that it was recorded in the basement of Saint Bernadette Catholic School in New Haven, Connecticut. The video below gives us a chance to enjoy a performance by Parris and the Satins in excerpt from the film, Sweet Beat.
The track went on to become even more popular when it was featured on the 1987 soundtrack for the movie Dirty Dancing, as well as other movies such as 1978’s The Buddy Holly Story and 2019’s The Irishman. Rolling Stone magazine ended up ranking the song on the 90th spot on their list of their Top 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2010.
