The Drifters - Save The Last Dance For Me

[dojsix]

Oj,oj,oj... Det var många "hippor" som avslutades med den här låten i min ungdom!!!

[Gloryboy4]

First time I've heard this absolute classic in an up tempo version and you know what, I love it just as much as the original. Great stuff.

[SuperMatkovic]

tres tres joli

[tyronetownsendstube]

This song is basically saying be a whore at the party but we're f*cking later.

[sanjeewa61802]

Who is the lead vocal here? Its not Clyde McPhatter I guess.

[JacksonCat2]

@sanjeewa61802 It is Clyde Brown.

[Dharma0911]

[MsClassicsneverdie]

[lmc1dj]

[Kamesango]

So cooooool!

swing an dance tonight! v(^o^)

[excop820]

I think that they wanted to get off the stage before the real Drifters showed up

[speedtwin007]

Quite agree with you Phyllis, the original was superb, so were most of their other recordings too. All are timeless classics I think.

[phylliswaterfield]

Fuck his good.

[speedtwin007]

Why the hell do they want to ruin such a classic track by singing it at this speed, were they in a hurry to get home or being paid by the minute?

[phylliswaterfield]

@speedtwin007 crank it up a bit.Original is brilliant anyway.

[jonlarkster]

this is not a disco tune!. where the hell`s the swing?? whoever did the arranging needs to take his head out of his ass!

[jonlarkster]

sorry this really sucks. the arrangement has no resemblance to the original. no subtlety .

[s44kof]

Very nice

[EVLGTR]

I came here to look for Nissan DRIFTING videos and i ended up here

[dcaroleo7111064]

When my daughter was 3 years old ( she is now 18) everytime we went to the diner that had the juke box on the table she used to make my husband play this song...because he used to hold her & sing it to her @ home.. she thought he made it up LOL <3

[911BEN119]

[Rockyet]

This must be from the 70s recording! Look at those batwing lapels on the jackets and the wide ties! Brings back those memories.....

[11tonto]

The Drifters' version of the song spent three non-consecutive weeks at number one on the U.S. pop chart, in addition to logging one week atop the U.S. R&B chart. In the UK, the Drifters' recording reached number two in December 1960. This single was produced by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, two noted American music producers who at the time had an apprentice relationship with a then-unknown Phil Spector.

So funny, look at Johnny Moore near the end of the song, the way he's bopping up and down, so cute. <3 the Drifters xxx

[funscaper]

best ever,love their music

[adanpadilla08]

wow

[karntnisleians]

the late doc pomus wrote this one. he - crippled because of infantile paralysis - couldn't dance with his wife on their wedding. when he saw his lady dancing all nite long with all the other guys, he wrote these famous words on his napkin. sad, but true.

[kornish10]

@karntnisleians actually not entirely true. The man who wrote the lyrics was crippled and his wife was a broadway dancer. The song was a tribute to her telling her not to give up her love (dancing) for him and all he asks is for the last dance. quite sweet actually

[demco271]

They don't make music like this anymore

[demco271]

@demco271 I will say it again

[Slaindarr]

Best version I've seen on youtube.

[swake2]

[Manuelhelguero]

[AshiStarshade]

Music Man, you've got to know that we love it, and are grateful to you even when we did not know it was you :)
