Save The Last Dance For Me - The Drifters - Cover By - Rear Admiral Nirmala Kannan ( Retd)
This song was first recorded in 1960 by the American music group 'The Drifters' with Ben E King ( of 'Stand By Me' fame ) on lead vocals. Written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman , it is about a man telling his sweetheart that she is free to mingle and socialize throughout the evening, but to make sure that she saves the last dance for him. Apparently it was written on the day of Pomus' wedding, while the wheelchair -using groom watched his bride dancing with the guests. Pomus had polio and at times used crutches to get around, while his wife was a Broadway actress and dancer . The song was released a few months after Ben E King left the group but it went on to become a huge hit world wide. N...

    Save the last dance for me, is a song thats a 1960's product. The songs and singers of that era hold fort to this day. Doc Nirmala's initiation to songs and singing stays true to songs of poignant pleas, loaded lyrics brilliantly sung, yet again. Usually a Waltz, the song still plays out as a last dance and to have the good Doc render it with her profound mastery of the pause and fadeaway, the song rings true, far longer than it lasts on air. When that happens, you are in the clutches of a masterpiece. Con amore' Doc!!!

    Never the easiest of attempts when trying to emulate the one and only John Denver. And yet, Doc Nirmala makes it sound so easy. John Denver as usual embellished his songs with simple, visually rich and a haunting melody. This song could be a tribute to ones love lost / living. The music is so minimal, especially due to the strong and endearing vocal overlay. Revisiting a masterpiece is always daunting, but when a singer does this is by habit, it's a sign of exellence. Sing on Doc and light up our lives as always.
