actually, Floyd Cramer played on Elvis' "Heartbreak Hotel" in the 1950's when he was a studio musician. You can hear a bit of his style in the piano solo halfway throught the song! Unfortunately, cancer took Floyd away Dec. 31, 1997. He is greatly missed by fans all over the world.
My Mom always used top play this song and now I do too My grandparents heard this when they were dating they said. I'm only 14 and I love this kind of music
I get chills every time I hear this song.. It will always be one of my favorites..It was the best of times and the worst of times .. in 1965 ..Kenneth. I think of you when ever I hear it. I will never forget you. I never said it .. but I loved you so!! I had to walk away.. Just wasn't meant to be.
I first heard this when visiting Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, CA. The music was coming from a music shop, we went in and I've never forgotten that day or this song!
@stupidshitsucks Me too in 1965.. don't remember the month, though ! One of the hardest thing I ever did , at age 17.. saying good bye to someone I loved but knew it would never last. I wore out my 45 rpm LAST DATE !!!!
The song "The Last Date" was written as a piano solo by Folyd Cramer!!! The song was so melodic and wonderful - several people added word and recorded THEIR version of it. Originally - there were no words - and that is as it should be!!! Adding words is like putting a dress on Michalengelo's David!!!! The words to "The Last Date" are in your head - when you went on that last date with one that you cared for. Find YOUR words!!!!
One of my Mom's favorite songs. I loved hearing it when I was little.

@uptownana What a poignant story, you must have really loved him to make a comment like that. I hope that you found happiness later in your life.

I grew up with my dad listening to this song and loved it. If you like the piano solo you should listen to Conway Twitty singing this also!! LOVE IT

Last Date was recorded w/ vocals by both
Pat Boone and Kay Starr. For some reason,
both singers used different lyrics.
Anyway, been a favorite of mine for about
half a century.
Tx 4 the post.
