The Five Satins performing "In The Still of the Night", released originally in 1956.
"In The Still Of The Night" is a classic doo-wop song with an unusual origin story. The song was written by Fred Parris, a member of The Five Satins, while he was travelling by train between Philadelphia and his hometown of New Haven.
The song talks about holding a girl close on a night in May and hoping to be with her again. Parris wrote the song about a former girlfriend he was hoping would return to him, but she never did.
The song was recorded in the basement of St. Bernadette Church in the group's hometown of New Haven, Connecticut. They used the church piano along with drums, a guitar, a cello tuned low for the bass sound, and a saxophone. The church basement had great acoustics and was insulated from ambient noise, making it a perfect place to record.
The Five Satins were managed by Marty Kugell, who distributed their material on his own label, Standord Records. "In The Still Of The Night" became one of the most famous songs in doo-wop history.
The Five Satins were a fluid group, and their lineup had a lot to do with who was available, as some of the members were in the military. In this song, only four members of the group recorded it, but they called themselves The Five Satins because that was the trend at the time.

Such good memories! I lived them!! I was 16 when this came out! Im now 82!
Im 24 and love this song :)
I'm 39 and love this tune
I'm 18! Helps a-lot with the story I write! A timeless classic.
When my family would take long trips, the oldies station was the only thing we could all agree to listen to. Now, the "oldies" are all from the '80s and '90s. I miss the good ol' days!
Same here
I was 8 yrs when this came out. Now ,76 yrs and it still sounds good
Pual Simon and Art Garfunkel introduced me to them via Rene and Georgette Magritte With Their Dog After the War.
Mom played this song. Loved it so much. God how I miss my family that's gone.
❤️ me too
Keep playing this song. They'll always be with you.

I came here after watching "The Irishman". The tune just stuck in my mind!! Beautiful piece of music@
Same 😂
Vous n'êtes pas seuls mdr mdr mdr
same here
Ew. Stop associating this beautiful music with those disgusting creatures.
Yo Higual 😅🙋
This song still sounds so good. It's 2024 and forever
It's 2024 and I still love Oldies.
Doo wop will never dies
What an era, I miss this kinda music 😢
This “old” music is more meaningful today than earlier in time
Only their tight harmony and melody can bring back the time, romance, and feelings I had 67 years ago, in 1956, when I was 16. I think America was in its zenith, a condition that is gone and, unfortunately, will not be duplicated.
I hope they can feel the joy they gave so many. This is talent. Pure.
Not during segregation. That's what makes it bittersweet
Idk what it is with this era but boy they all could sing.
@QUEENLOLATV nah, blacks were doing waaaay better then than now, I mean way better, we all were, actually. However, a lot of them that I've spoken with over the years had preferred it. They had their own businesses, communities, banks, you name it, and then the ugh government showed up to help and here we are. Thank God for love and for music and when two come together.
"I heard you paint houses" "Yes sir I do' "And I do my own carpentry too" Greatest mob movie in the 21st century
?????? What does your comment have to do with this wonderful song?
@dalehood1846 this song was added on the American crime drama film since the film takes back from the 50s up to the 70s.

FR, Mf!!!
Didn't really like it tbh. No where near as good as the departed either.
1958 December. It was still popular two years later. First dance with my future husband at age 14. He was 16. Love it. If only we could time travel. 💕
Danced to this song in high school. Never forget the feeling of slow dancing with a gorgeous 16 year old.
you (without a doubt) are badass.
Walking alone in downtown at 9 o'clock at night and hearing the song . Almost home , and Mom and Dad are still up, worried about me to arrive safely.
EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T BORN DURING THE DOO-WOP ERA, I STILL LIKE IT❤
ALWAYS and FOREVER! A Long time big band lover and Jazz, 1950's classic songs
This version of the most gorgeous love song still gives me the chills.
born in 60,heard all these great songs on am radio as I grew up
1958, listening to WLS with my Zenith transistor radio..under the covers so my parents wouldn't catch me..greatest song ever..
Aaahhh, WLS, also IF I am not mistaken, WCFL?
I also listened, alone in my room, age 11-12 years. No one else in my family was interested, and no one knew I was captivated. Over 6 decades later, I sill get goosebumps.
WWSW
When I think of how long this song has endured and the many remakes and duplicates, I must declare it was and still is solid gold.
This song is as old as me, we are both still going strong.
One of the greatest songs of all time
I saw them at a rock and roll revival like 60 years ago. They got a standing ovation from a very large crowd. Still love that music...
and here it is..the greatest "do-wop"...song ever recorded
This is real music I'm 39 years old and I love doo-wop
@waltergel;dof4923: "This is real music" probably for you in your previous life. Really, happens all the time. Past life nostalgia. And just as strong and emotional.
41 and it's my fav :)
22 and it's one of my favorites too :D
My friend, I'll be turning 61 on March 7th of this year, and to me, this music is timeless and beautiful; we must do what we can to preserve this genre of music known as doo-wop - specifically, we must teach the younger generation how to perform this music, and record and preserve performances by the younger generation of doo-wop talents for future generations to enjoy and love. I thank you for listening to me, my friend.
💯💯
Wow wonderful soothing elegant heart warming music, just magic. I am 62 and this was a generation earlier still love it to bits. They don’t make this meaningful music anymore
I think this was my dad's favorite song. He played it so many times. I remember him tapping the steering wheel of his car to the song. Now I listen and have a good cry in his memory. I love you my sweet dad.
I can never hear this gorgeous song without picturing Baby lying in Johnny's arms in his cabin. My favorite movie, Dirty Dancing.
Beautiful song sung by beautiful voices, timeless!
I've never heard anything so perfect
Still fantastic every time I hear this stuff 👏
Wish i had a dollar for every time i listened to this song Been over 60 years
This is raw talent pure and simple
I can't begin to describe how happy this song makes me. Perfection.
It’s a terrific number. Although I don’t consider it a happy song at all; more like an air of longing and regret. And I’ve seen the song used in films to evoke that vibe e.g. Dead Ringers and The Irishman. To each their own though!
One of my favorite songs of all-time... 🌙💫 💙💜
Flawless. The harmony is magical.
This was mind blowing when I first heard this.
Amen! I was 9, and I loved it, then and now.
Always will be a hit!
back when their music was the best,,it had that feeling.. and respect..we ALL loved it..
WOW 😍So Classy, the music today can't even hold a candle to this!
Still, the number 1 doo-wop song of all time.
THIS is music! I'm an 80's baby, grew up in the 90's and early 2000's but I love listening to this kind of music. I can listen to this music all day everyday. This is quality music. Thank you for uploading this footage.
I was an 80s too go figure
I was an 80s baby too. Go figure.
I'm a 80s baby too.
I'm an 80s baby too. You can't beat this music
This song always hit number 1 in the charts! My favorite song.
Best footage I seen on KZhead. RIP Fred Parris, your music will live on forever!
only if we keep listening to it, and try to spread the word to the kids.
Nací con esta música 😊
@@willisgemutlich2608don’t worry it will there’s gen z folks who love this and most likely kids will hear it enough and listen to it on their own
I Love you Hayden Panettiere
Fred parris wrote it on guard duty in the army.
That sax solo is one of my favorite things ever.
The national anthem of the greatest genre of music DOO Wop unbelievable voices and talent.
One of my all-time favorites! So many memories!
Best slow dance of the 1950's!🎶🥰
This is where it all started for me.. this song at the end of a t.v. show called "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was all it took to get me forever hooked on Doo Wop. Thank you, Fred Parris, and thank you Five Satins. You had an amazing impact on shaping a part of my life.
got it from The Irishman, one of my favourite movies gave me my favourite song and band.
Oh my gosh, yes!!!! Love that episode also the Dream Girl.
I was just thinking that I heard this song as a kid from a TV show and now I remember it was Are you Afraid of the Dark! Those were the days😊
That was a great episode!
same here lol
Such a heart warming song...🎵🎶🎵🙏🏻🦋❤️ Love it
An all-time great recording!
THIS IS MY GREAT KILLER DOOWOP FROM THE FITIES !!!!! FRED PARIS AND HIS GROUP ARE THE BEST ABOUT THIS SONG .
My big sis taught me to dance to this tune..The lessons served me well. She couldn't have chosen a better tune. (she "borrowed" it from her boyfriend) Easily this tune is still my favorite oldie.
All. These. Wonderful. Songs. From. Years. Gone. By. So. Many. Memories.
This was 1956 my word 2 years before I was born, must have been womb music!! thanks Mom! An amazing track just made perfect by that haunting sax thanks so much for posting
I concur; the sax pushes it over the top
Those were the days👌👏👏 I would give just about anything to go back in time and live in that era
Yes so, many great memories
Can’t get enough of this song- especially with the performance's and choreography
Bring Back This Music!
Truly a timeless classic
They are so fantastic love all the old groups
Omg, I can’t believe I was 3 yrs old, but I feel I grew up with it, I know every word ❤
Great timeless song from a era of great music.
How I love this song ♥️

Old song never dies,..... it just fades away.

Love doo wop music. This group brings back memories. Dancing music. 🩰🎶❤️
Greatest Doowop song of all time!
Nací en 1987, tengo 36 años y me gusta escuchar música a partir de los años 50 en adelante, principalmente rock y sus derivados. Este es un excelente tema melancólico y muy atrapante. Saludos desde Paraguay.
Carlos, all the best. The Midwest, USA. Take care and stay safe.
These guys are fantastic
LOVE THIS SONG.
Masterpiece 💝
Doo wap was a classic 👌🏻 ❤
Back in the days when they made songs with melody and are timeless.
Just I love this song 👌🏾❤
Sewing away jamming to this timeless song
Fantastic song and performers!
Simply wonderful !! Thank you
What a voice !
Oh, for the good old days!! Loved this song.
That was beautiful my husband and I were puppy loves. Love that song. You were amazing.😍😍❤️❤️
Amazing voices❤❤❤❤❤
I met a girl I loved while I was still a boy, she was my first ever love, but as time went on she wasn't the same person. This song reminds me of the fresh and uplifting feeling I had when our love first blossomed.
To the isle.
And when were you still a boy. I get yhe feeling this was love of old, not the ficcle love we see today
There's a great old episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? where they play this song at the end as a ghost car drives through the cemetary gate. Gives me chills every time.
Yes, the ghost girl waiting for her prom date.
Y is there only,4
Y is there only,4
I remember I was 12yrs when this song ce out! I loved and I still love this song!
I love doowoop my favorite music I listen whenever I can
what a beautiful song! definitely one of my favorites 🎶
i was born in 02 and i love music from every decade
I’ve always loved this song but haven’t heard it in years. Upon listening again I’m blown away by how tone deaf the back up singers are! How did I miss that before?!
Everytime i watch in the heat of the night.this song comes to mind.lol and I have to sing it ..
Beautiful Song
see if you can get your hands (ears) on some of the real oldies, when they just invented the phonograph, like "milkman's son", talkin' 'bout juke, jug and washboard bands. I had a couple tapes I got from a dude with the original SLATE not vinyl records that I cherished but lost somewhere, and I don't even have a tape player anymore. Beautiful stuff, and I miss it. Thanks for bringing these sparks of life back to me. You might want to look into reaching out to "old folks' homes" for people who can really appreciate this. At my g'mas, there was a comedy show we all sat down for that had the funniest ads, particularly a greyhound ad that was all greyhounds on a bus with different 50's era hats and suits going down to florida... I can't find it, but it exists. Keep bringing the past back to life, I love it.
Just wow! The memories...
Absolute quintessential 1950s song
It still sends chills up my spine! I close my eyes and listen to the magic! Just so so beautiful! Patricia NC 9/2023
I feel your every joy with this treasure. ❤
1956 to 2023 it never gets old for me in NC
Beautiful voices.
