Save The Last Dance For Me

"You can dance-every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile-every smile for the man
Who held your hand neath the pale moon light
But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling... save the last dance for me

Oh... I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling... save the last dance for me

Baby don't you know I love you so
Can't you feel it when we touch
I will never never let you go
I love you oh so much

You can dance, go and carry on
Till the night is gone, And it's time to go
If he asks if you're all alone
Can he walk you home, you must tell him no
'cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling... save the last dance for me

Oh... I know that the musics fine
Like sparklin' wine, go and have your fun
Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
And don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling... save the last dance for me

So don't forget who's taking you home
Or in who's arms you're gonna be
So darling save the last dance for me
Oh baby, won't you save the last dance for me
Oh, you make a promise
That you'll save the last dance for me
Save the last dance
The very last dance
For me"

Drifters studio performance recorded in 1990 for 'Daytime Live' at some ridiculous early time in the morning and a lesson learned,
DON'T flippantly ask the cameraman for 'a close up for me mum' when you haven't slept the night before.

The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me

"Please Stay" (also known as "(Don't Go) Please Stay") is an early hit of The Drifters featuring the new lead singer Rudy Lewis, who replaced Ben E. King. It is one of songwriter Burt Bacharach's early pop hits, featuring Dionne Warwick's sister Dee Dee Warwick and Doris Troy on background vocals. This and "Some Kind of Wonderful" and "Sweets for My Sweet" were all recorded in the same session. The musicians who backed the Drifters on this record include George Barnes and Allan Hanlon on guitar, Abie Baker on Bass, Bobby Rosengarden and Ray Kessler on percussion and Ed Shaughnessey and Gary Chester on drums.

The song was covered by The Cryin' Shames (1966, UK #26), Lulu (Melody Fair album, 1970), The Bay City Rollers (1974), Jonathan Butler (1975, SA #2) [1] Elvis Costello on Kojak Variety (1995), Marc Almond (2001) and Zoot Money, who also changed the lyrics.

Peter Kember recorded the song with his band Spectrum, released on the 1992 EP True Love Will Find You in the End.[2]

"Please Stay" was covered by Welsh singer Duffy for the deluxe edition her debut album, Rockferry, adapting The Cryin' Shames' arrangement.

Ray Pollard - The Drifter

The Drifters sing "Come Over To My Place" with a live performance.

"There Goes My Baby" is a song written by Ben E. King (Benjamin Nelson), Lover Patterson, George Treadwell, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller, and produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller for The Drifters. This was the first single by the second incarnation of the Drifters (previously known as the 5 Crowns), who assumed the group name in 1958 after manager George Treadwell fired the remaining members of the original lineup.

Leiber and Stoller used a radically different approach to production than Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler had employed with the original Clyde McPhatter-led Drifters. The combination of new style and new group fit, and the song reached number two on the Hot 100 and number one on the Billboard R&B chart and on the Cash Box sales chart for two weeks, in the summer of 1959. The Atlantic Records release was King's debut recording as lead singer of the group. The personnel on the original recording included Mike Stoller on piano, King Curtis on sax, Wendell Marshall on bass, and Sticks Evans on drums & tympani.

The song was included in the musical revue "Smokey Joe's Cafe".

This is simply my all all time favourite Drifters song. Never a hit but still brilliant, probably one of my top ten songs of all time. Not on YouTube . . . until now.

If you're from Northern Ireland, listened to Big T on Downtown Radio and were around in 1976 when the station started broadcasting, then you will love and recognise the song, especially as Trevor regularly plays it on the station's birthday - March 16th.

It's from their 1976 album 'Every Night's A Saturday Night With You'.
