About The Song
The song “In the Still of the Night” is a timeless classic that has been popularized by countless artists throughout its history. Its enduring appeal lies in its evocative lyrics and haunting melody. However, a common misconception is that Fred Parris and The Satins were the original performers of the song.
While Fred Parris and The Satins did indeed record a memorable rendition of “In the Still of the Night,” they were not the first to do so. The song was originally composed by Cole Porter in 1935 and has been covered by numerous artists since then, including Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and The Drifters.
The Satins’ version, released in the late 1950s or early 1960s, became a popular doo-wop hit. Their interpretation, characterized by their distinctive harmonies and emotional delivery, resonated with audiences and helped to solidify the song’s place in popular culture.
It’s important to note that while Fred Parris and The Satins’ version is well-known and beloved, it is not the only or the definitive interpretation of “In the Still of the Night.” The song’s enduring legacy is a testament to its versatility and its ability to be reimagined by different artists across generations.

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I held you, held you tight
‘Cause I love, love you so
Promise I’ll never let you go
In the still of the nightI remember that night in May
The stars were bright above
I’ll hope and I’ll pray
To keep your precious loveWell before the light
Hold me again with all of your might
In the still of the night
So before the light, hold me again
With all of your might
In the still of the night
In the still of the night
