Did you ever notice that there are certain songs that continue to be played over and over in our head, and we love it? Some of these songs may be decades old, but they are still a classic to us.
One of those songs was written in 1955 and performed by the Five Satins. It is one of those songs that continues to captivate us every time we hear it because of its haunting melody and beautiful words.
When In the Still of the Night was first released, nobody had any idea that it would be as popular as it was. It is considered to be one of the best songs of its time and it is still being performed down to this day by many groups.
