Backstory: The guy who wrote this song was in a wheel chair due to polio. He wrote it on his wedding day as he watched his bride, a professional dancer, dance with their guests. The song gives his perspective of telling his wife to have fun dancing, but reminds her who will be taking her home and "in whose arms you're gonna be.
Check out the songs of the late 1950 thru the mid-60s and you'll see Doc Pomus' name all over the lists. A very talented and prolific songwriter from out of the Brill Building.
Thanks for sharing, my husband and I were fortunate enough to see the drifters on our honeymoon, on Jersey island back in 1990 . I'm sure there was only 1 original drifter left but they still sounded as good .
I was 13 in 1959 when my first teenage love sent me the words of this song in a letter.Our ways parted when we studied at different institutions.After 50 years now being both single, we connected again and this song brought us together again online.We hope and pray that God will allow us to meet at the end of 2021 to let this song relive again for us.We pray that the covid pandemic will be conquered.
The Great LORD gave me a darling through Facebook. In 2014 i send a friendship request to an African Lady living on the bottom of Kilimandscharo. Immediately she added me as friend. Our love was growing, and in May 2021 she came to me to Stuttgart/Germany and we married. I am born 1955, never before married, no kids. May our good Lord bless us all, and protect our relationship's.
Wow. Beautifully said. I wish you well and good health Madam Barker. You have seen the world when it was much better in some ways and have lived the good life . I wish you good health.
They do not dance or move in the same way, that generation danced smile and enjoyed but did you notice NO torn jeans t shirts just a clean smart generation, DO MISS IT, but I left it behind and can only listen now T
Me too ! a youth so wonderful but I didn't know it as I was living it now I realize how beautiful it was . ,such good times, good music, good friends .
I never thought I would see my age, remember we were raised with you will never see old age in this system, I’m in shock, but I was suspicious when my dad passed as he was supposed to have been from that generation that would never die
I definitely miss my youth. I'm glad I at least have good memories. As stated in the remake of the original Planet of the Apes movie..."Youth is wasted on the young!" Live long and prosper! (Spock)
Fred Hoyt: Precisely, it's a dreadful mis-match of tempo. For a really clever match of an old dance clip with a more modern recording, here's a great clip of Dorothy Lamour and Fred Astaire " dancing to" Jackie Wilson's "Higher and Higher" which was recorded many years AFTER the film was made. It's so cleverly edited by marrying the music to their steps, and by choosing a recording with the exact (jive)tempo that it looks as if they are actually dancing to it with not one mis-timed step. It's as clever as it is enjoyable, and a bit surprisingly, the more modern upbeat music shows just how good Astaire was, Miss Lamour ain't hard to look at either!
You are right, they dance the Rock'n Roll while this song rythme is a Rumba, but anyway, this dancing is great compare to what nowaday youth is dancing.
Wow! I am 82 now and what great music we had in the old days….we had to go through WW2 , we had nothing after the war, but we were satisfied with a ball and a piece of string! we had respect as well! NOW? no comment!
Because everybody is on Facebook, Tweeting, Instagram, Tik Tok doing STUPID THINGS, and the creative sub set decided why create something nice for the IDIOTS we now have living among the few normal ones.
i wasnt born until 59, but i would love to turn the clock back and be around during this era, i loved the music ,the fashion, and life itsself was so different,and people did dance, you dont see a lot of that these days anymore
I am a Dutch guy , 36 years old , not my time this music , but ow what I like this song and the dance . I think the people had a great time together , wish we had this still this time , playing and dancing on this music😍
Man, I miss those days, happy vibes, and just upbeat attitudes. I can't believe we are where we are today in popular culture. Doesn't have to be the exact same thing, no no, just smiles and good natured fun.
@UCCTdfmxLZRO3f2Zto7uwjfw I know what you mean, Alan. I'm 78, born in '45, and have watched so many of my Dear friends leave this earth, way too early. My high school class reunion (Class of '63), is getting smaller and smaller every year.
@@marcellogenesi6390 i danced to those songs and i'm just fine. i'm 75 and i still jive with my daughter whom i taught to dance to this music. don't give up on us so soon.
I'm 79 and being able to play all these old songs on u tube takes me back to all the memories of my young days and all the romances I had thanks u tube
I love this music. My mother taught me ballroom dancing and this particular rhythm lent itself to some real spectacular steps, especially if rehearsed. Alas, I'm 75 and mother is long gone RIP Mum.
I can feel u. Rip to your mom.. I m 17 from India... And i love this song. Two people from two different places loving a song .. Whoa.. I hope I could have met y'all.
Born in the 1930s never ever learned to dance still cannot .. have had a great life with my wife Carol .always Take her home .Still together since the 1960 years now 2020 year,xx
I lived through the 50s and 60s and it was a fantastic era, There was still fights but not the savage violence of today. It was a nice time to be young.
what "savage violence" for god's sake? I've been DJing for 12 years now almost every other weekend, believe me, there's still PLENTY of young people who know how to have fun without getting aggressive or high on illegal substances... never had proper fights or anything.
Age is just a number. We can still dance listening to songs like this . It does move my body while listening n seeing this video. Love from Singapore. 🙂
Wish we have a time machine-bring back the good-olde days-this is music-today 2021 nothing is good music -thankyou THE DRIFTERS-GOD BLESS YOU ALL-R-I-P
My brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Myles, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life.
Well my darling, I feel your pain and I'm so sorry for your loss. I also lost my brother to suicide and my daughter in April. So glad your brother's death was peaceful, hold on to that comfort. Prayers for your peace
I am 76 years old and I agree elizabethbowick958 they do not make songs like this anymore these songs had meaning and good dance to I may be old now but gee am I glad I grew up in this generation when music was music with meaning and fun and harmless fun at that just having a good time enjoying life as it was then now kids don't know what they have missed out on as they won't still be playing the crap music of today in 50-60 years time like our music is still played
geoff rouse Oh, please don`t say that!!! At least you`ve got your memories. There are so many of us, who weren`t as lucky as you (being filmed at the peak of our greatness - LOL) It`s hard getting older and even watching others slowly changing. BUT there`s something very democratic about aging because it`s the only thing that happens to every one of us. No matter if you`re rich or poor, beautiful or not, successful or not, important or not, healthy or sick. (I always loved to dance,I was very athletic when I was young and I am an artist. But then I fell sick and now I have difficulties walking and so I have to use my wheelchair. I even can`t paint and draw anymore). and Why should we lose energy on something that we know is inevitable? All people who were good at being young and successful should try to be successful at getting older and therefore trying to be a role model for all those who follow. I wish you all the best :)))
AboutDonai I`m sorry to say that there was very little to treasure. But I`m good at altering my memories like everybody else is, or at least the majority :)
Beautiful music with beautiful dancing. It's a shame that now a days sex, violence, filthy lyrics and a bunch of weirdo dancers have ruined our music all together.
You are so right the Bible book 📚 of Timothy C3v1 says how people will be in the last days one having no natural affection we can see that by the way people treat each other
I found this video many years ago and here it is again...My father died suddenly on Veteran's Day, 2022. he was an Air Force Veteran. We had to put our Beloved Dog Julie down on September 22, 2022. Two big losses close together....Dad and Julie, Save The Last Dance For Me.
ans jansen does yer heart good to hear something like that ans, we've been together for 50 years, married for 44, I still sing the Drifters songs to her.
I just love this stuff great oldie i think i should have lived in that era much better times less streessful times . Loved the clothes the dance moves all great .
most of the songs i know are from 50's to 80's 'cause my father and uncles are all eloctronic technicians, jute boxes are provided by my father to some restaurants during those days ...i was born in the year 1957..music during those times are really pleasant to the ear to hear and very enticing.😍😊!!
we who grew up in this era were so lucky,,,,,,,kids today have NO CLUE
Unfortunately they don't have
Best era ever.
If you like the music and dancing, many all over the globe have active swing dance communities.
True. Those were the good ole days that’s just a memory and we will never get it back.

You so lucky mam to be born in those wonderful years i wish i was born during those years
You've got me by two years but I was there, Take care and dance, Liz
The stuff sung today is ugly and hateful, just like the performers.
77 here, too! Born in '46 [9 months after Dad came back from WW2]. Music was music then, not noise that is passed off as music! LRG
I was in high school when this came out and it was burned into my brain forever! I still love it.
It's 2022 and 2:00 O'clock in the morning.... but my feet are tapping to the beat and wanting me to dance 😃😃😃
Me too !
February 7th, 2022 I still love this beautiful song back to my teenage years
And me love my dancing happy to dance until after 02:00 and beyond if needed or energy doesn’t run out

The realisation that the 60’s were the best days of your life.

What a beautiful voice nice memories I love this song still listening. How are you Esme mostert ?
You should always save the last dance for the man you love.
I love this old song. It brings back great memories of when music was music!! Thank you for sharing this!! :)

I'm a '78 child and I can say I agree! We don't have to share the same era to agree with the same sentiment!
They were! Spot on!
@@jodacious46 tks
The kids of today think they invented "dance" - they've got nothing compared to this!
right, nothing new under the sun
They do not dance or move in the same way, that generation danced smile and enjoyed but did you notice NO torn jeans t shirts just a clean smart generation, DO MISS IT, but I left it behind and can only listen now T
22Jeanie totally agree!!! 👍🏽👏🏽
22Jeanie Northen Soul Dancing.
So true.
A vintage song that never fades with every generation or era of music.A piece of history of the past era of rock and roll.
These are the times of pure fun,&men danced,really danced.Gentleman,great music,morals manners.Not like today's headbanging crap.♥️♥️♥️
So true
My generation both male and female were so very privileged to live through that era.
All of us are privileged to be alive now but few realize that.
This song will never fade away
Music and songs would be NOTHING without the contribution of the 50's and 60's.
...and not a mud-slime in sight.
You are totally right!
@@cliffordhatton4444 What is a mud-slime?
TRUER WORDS NEVER SPOKEN I TOO AM A PRODUCT OF THAT ERA THE BEST MUSIC EVER
I agree
Not many overweight or obese people back then because of these lively dances. 💃🕺
Mainly because of their eating habits...
Why do songs like this make we swell up with tears, I’m 71, maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s a youth never to be seen again!
Me too ! a youth so wonderful but I didn't know it as I was living it now I realize how beautiful it was . ,such good times, good music, good friends .

I'm 61 and I feel exactly the same, I think I was born a decade too late,70's could not match these 60's classics. Love your comment.
I danced with 10x more energy than these guys in my apartment. The landlord sent me a big bill. Those walls are hard to climb
Nice 👍 ❤
Definitely the best version of this wonderful song. That "uah" is to die for
How could you not have a big smile while watching these amazing dancers to a catchy song? Very well done.

Recorded on Thursday May 19 1960. Even after 60 years still one of the best songs ever recorded. Remembering Ben E. King.
those were the most wonderful days. ( they say Old is Gold)
Why can't there be music like this anymore !!!!! ❤
Bellísima canción
Because it takes real talent to put together a group like the Drifters.
I would give almost anything to go to a dance again. Patience.... :)
because needs talent and discipline
Because everybody is on Facebook, Tweeting, Instagram, Tik Tok doing STUPID THINGS, and the creative sub set decided why create something nice for the IDIOTS we now have living among the few normal ones.
Love this song so much and the dance...so amazing...brings back all the memories

Don't like sparkling wine 🍷
the era when girls were girls and boys were boys. there was no confusion back then.
Homosexuality goes as far back to the bigining of time it was comdemn in the old testament.
Its was punishable by stoning to death.
I don't know why but this is one of my all time favorite songs - the dance scenes above just add even more to the song
I wonder how many of those are still alive, and how many in old people's home

All people who were good at being young and successful should try to be successful at getting older and therefore trying to be a role model for all those who follow. I wish you all the best :)))

I`m sorry to say that there was very little to treasure. But I`m good at altering my memories like everybody else is, or at least the majority :)
Absolutely wonderful ❤️
Beautiful music with beautiful dancing. It's a shame that now a days sex, violence, filthy lyrics and a bunch of weirdo dancers have ruined our music all together.
You are so right the Bible book 📚 of Timothy C3v1 says how people will be in the last days one having no natural affection we can see that by the way people treat each other

I miss going out dancing.
most of the songs i know are from 50's to 80's 'cause my father and uncles are all eloctronic technicians, jute boxes are provided by my father to some restaurants during those days ...i was born in the year 1957..music during those times are really pleasant to the ear to hear and very enticing.😍😊!!
