Frank Sinatra

"Strangers in the Night" is a popular song credited to Bert Kaempfert with English lyrics by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. Kaempfert originally used it under the title "Beddy Bye" as part of the instrumental score for the movie A Man Could Get Killed. The song was made famous in 1966 by Frank Sinatra, although it was initially given to Melina Mercouri, who thought that a man's vocals would suit more to the melody and therefore declined to sing it. Reaching number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Easy Listening chart it was the title song for Sinatra's 1966 album Strangers in the Night, which became his most commercially successful album. The song also reached number one on the UK Singles Chart. Sinatra's recording won him the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, as well as a Grammy Award for Best Arrangement Accompanying a Vocalist or Instrumentalist for Ernie Freeman at the Grammy Awards of 1967. It became a gold record. Hal Blaine was the drummer on the record and Glen Campbell played rhythm guitar.

Something in your eyes Was so inviting Something in your smile Was so exciting Something in my heart told me I must have you Strangers in the night, two lonely people We were strangers in the night Up to the moment when we said our first hello Little did we know Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away And ever since that night We've been together Lovers at first sight In love forever It turned out so right For strangers in the night Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away Ever since that night We've been together Lovers at first sight In love forever It turned out so right For strangers in the night Doo-bee-doo-bee-doo Doo-doo-dee-dah, dah-dah-dah RELATED: Frank Sinatra’s Gold-Seated Toilets Are Now Up For Auction
