Dean Martin song....

[@DavidWayneBroyles]

The story behind this song though... “Save the Last Dance for Me” is about a man telling his sweetheart to enjoy dancing the night away with other men so long as she saves the last one for him. The song is about the hidden regret and yearning that Doc Pomus felt about his disability. Pomus had polio and used a wheelchair, and was inspired to write the song after his wedding day in 1957 when he saw his wife, Willi Burke, an actress and dancer, enjoying the party dancing with friends, family, and guests while he was confined to his wheelchair. 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".

I agree and I am a bit older than you. I learned to dance with my girlfriend , we would play records like this all night and dance.

The songwriter, Doc Pomus, was crippled but his wife or girlfriend loved to go out and dance - so he would go with her to the clubs so she could dance. She would dance with other men while he sat on the sidelines and watched. But when it was time for the last dance of the evening, he would get up and dance the last dance with her. Hence, the song. True story and very touching! That is how this wonderful song was written! (He was crippled so he couldn’t really “dance” but he would go out there for a minute and she would push him around the floor a bit.)

This was my parents song.. They got together at 15 in 1975 and married at 17 in 1977, together 40 years, married for 38. Dad was a rigger and mum a dancer (she loved tap). They always danced to this song at the end of the night no matter where we were or even if they were bickering in the car on the way there beforehand lol. We lost dad at 55 suddenly from a heart attack and then mum passed at 58 suddenly from a blood clot, Some family members say a broken heart. But this song reminds me of their true love they had for each other and will always remain on my playlist 😁

[@desireejaikaran1858]

Just turn 70...Those were the best years of my life. So carefree . Now my 2 sons play these songs for me.

[@patriciajudd284]

This is one of the best records ever. Never get tired of hearing it.

[@kellydave3873]

Hello Patricia, how is things going with you ?

[@yvonnegraham117]

75 n agree, we had the best music and we were safe!

[@user-mp7nl7nn2c]

I am 67, I had to witness the 60's and by the time I grew up it was the accursed 70's.

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

The Drifters created more memories with their music than almost any group in history. For example, I can only imagine how many weddings this song was played at over the years.

[@lilliemxeharris]

I’m only 13 but I’ve grew up with these songs from my father xx I knew all the words to these songs from the age of around 6! What a wonderful childhood I had ❤️ Love you dad xx

[@flonp3933]

Same! I'm 14, and Stand by Me has been one of my favorites thanks to my dad since I was a toddler!

[@stevenpama6092]

Wow are you serious about that?

[@WillDurant79]

I'm 80 and still think our generation had the best music. Although I never listened to any other music so maybe I'm wrong.

[@harrodsfan]

Classic amongst the classics. My loves ❤💙

[@brianhines1452]

I'm 41 yrs old, and have heard some great music throughout my life. The Drifters blow a lot of groups out of the water. Not only are they one of the the best old school groups, they're one of the best groups period.

Ciara Sexton Im sorry for your loss he was lucky to have you

[@JR-hz2jl]

A timeless classic, listening to this tune since it originally first came out, gotta late fifties at a guess, still sing along when it's played on the radio.

I'm 75 and I can attest that it is the best music in a generation

[@user-zb1vs1kw8j]

A wonderful song. It makes me happy. ❤❤

[@amormio1948]

One of my favorite songs and they are too many to mention. Great times, simpler times. Thank you!

+Janie Pearls Only if we could turn the clock back but I don't know to when but a much better time in my youth!

[@amormio1948]

You got that right!

[@HelloWorld1947]

+Janie Pearls It were great times if you were a white male. As for me, i'm happy to be alive in this time. I can sit anywhere on the buss, i can attend my choice of school and restaurant, drink from any fountain, i can vote, and not one white racist can lynch me. Only vile white people would like to return back to this time!

[@amormio1948]

Good for you. You've expressed your opinion and feelings just like me. I'm glad that you are happy about something. I'm ecstatic about being alive since I've died twice. Others would like to return back to this time, too, but it's about the music. At least for me it is.

[@enriquepina9829]

Awesome Era!!!! Great Music 🎼🎶!!!! I'm 70 still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!!

[@foxysil52]

I'm also 70 and a baby boomer❤..I really appreciate this music growing up. 😊..So many flashbacks, memories you'll never forget if your heart was full of ❤️ love. These days had every meaning imaginable.

[@Muncie-vg5ut]

[@julieburton4542]

I'm 49 and I was brought listening to the drifters still love them today.

[@kellydave3873]

Hello Julie, how is things going with you ?

[@ROBERTJZYSK]

Love the tempo of this song. Just right. Strings backing up the drifters are superb. This is one of the most professional records of the 50s and 60s/

[@rogershanks5654]

Could by clyde mcfadder roger from motown

[@RichYoung862]

I agree. My generation feels the same thing. So great music touches all the generations. ^^

[@elyssantaris5146]

Im 36 and golden oldies and the 80s still my fav type of music. 😂

[@zoelomas233]

I’m 39 and my dad would have been 70 the other day. But this is the music he listened to. This is my kind of stuff. I’ve been into raving, britpop, even the spice girls. But this is my music.
