Found only on their 1960 Madison LP, the extended version of their hit Harlem Nocturne.
Plus @5:34 The Touch (Le Grisbi) from the album.

This song has that midnight in the big city feel to it. Fog, neon lights, bars and night clubs and all that. The late 1950s was a special time in American culture. This song is the embodiment of it all.

It's hard to admit, but I can recall like yesterday when my sister & I would listen to this song for hours and hours in the living room of the house we grew up in way back in the day. I'm now 70 & she's 72. We weren't even teens then. We both dressed in black turtle necks and black pants and laid around like little Beatniks, with all the lights turned out. Our parents thought we went nuts. I'm not a fan of this long version. The 45 was absolutely perfect. If I had to pick just two songs from my past that made a deep impression on me it would be this hypnotic and iconic song, along with "Sleep Walk" by Santo & Johnny. They just don't make em' like those anymore.

While I like this offering, my memories are attached to the original Viscount version. Sleep Walk is also on my short list. Wonderland By Night by Bert Kaempfert does not fit the haunting aspect of the former two songs but it is one of my favorites for the memories it evokes. If you have not heard it you might give it a listen. I think you would enjoy. By the way, I am right between your age and your mothers, I am 81, yet Harlem Nocturne appeals to us all. Good music knows no age boundaries.

@@rogerchinnici179 I like What'd I Say and Ray Charles in general - almost always "happy" music. Once I tried to pick my top ten. Songs I could listen to forever and not get tired of them. The best I could do is narrow my list down to a top fifty and there were still more that could have made the list. I have enjoyed jazz, rock, folk, R & B, bluegrass - just about everything expect opera, which I respect but don't care for, and rap, which just isn't for me. I always felt that anyone who has one 'favorite' song just hasn't heard many songs. You might consider making a top fifty list and then making sure to much doesn't pass between listening to them.

I'm fixing to be a young 81, and I was a part of the rock-and-roll start with the Father of Rock-and-Roll, Bill Haley and the Comets, Rock Around the Clock! The Viscount song was just one of many of my favorites. Love IT! There is Bill Dogget & Hony Tonk Part I & 2, Link Wray & Jack the Ripper and Rumble, The Chantays & Pipeline, Buddy Holly, Gene Viscent, Chuck Berry, The Fendermen & Mule Skinner Blues, Three Dog Night, of course Led-Zepplin Pink Floyd, The Eagles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, ...........sooo many more!!! I've heard a LOT of GREAT MUSIC through the many, many years, also good, fair, and POOR music!!! But the music of the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s will ALWAYS keep me young at heart!!

This was the song that made me want to play the saxophone! I first heard it (and bought) the single version when I was nine in 1959. Even at nine years old, the emotion behind the sax solo just blew me away. (to digress - kind of like when Duane and Gregg Allman went to their first R&B concert when they were still kids - Duane turns to Gregg and said, "Litle brother we got to get into this... and the rest was history).Tonight, surfing youtube, was the first I had ever heard there was a second and longer version. Though the main phrase is just repeated two or three times, this longer version sustains the mood of the song, that finishes too quickly on the single version. I especially liked the dramatic crescendo towards the very end of this version, also heard for the first time. This is solid stuff....

Ah... the good old days of TV. The prime opening theme was another similar moody tune called "Experiment in Terror" by Al Cialo if I recall.

@mrjekruse Ah yes!!! Played that song many times with my first band. (First real gig was at a small Brooklyn "lounge". Great era to grow up in.

This song is the background music at the start of the movie "Experiment in Terror" in 1962. The credits say Henry Mancini. At least the beginning of the song is identical. The movie was a black and white film noir. Great suspense thriller. Look it up.

+tanohuizar WOW - Mancini would love to grab credit for it, as any composer would, I suspect. He was great, but Nocturne is ... transporting.

I put it on youtube - I hear the similar feel you're speaking about [if the segment I heard was the movie intro you're speaking about], don't agree that beginnings are identical. They come from common emotional territory, neither would kick off a kids' Disney yarn, but musically I could not say one copied the other, much less agree with your first sentence. I plan to check out the film!

+Mickey AuGrec Did you get to see Experiment In Terror yet? Slow in today's times, but so much feeling plus you had to think while watching. Another good one that has the same vibes is Cry Terror, 1958.

Ravel's Bolero would be a good one to listen to if this melody puts you in a nostalgic mood, and, for me, on the heels of that comes Mood Indigo .......

I can only visualize this song as the theme music to a film noir. it must be in a large city, midnight or later, with rain pelting mostly empty streets. The protagonist and the antagonist within a block each wearing raincoats with turned up collars. How the hell did I get to combining my favorite genre of movies and the most haunting song I have heard. sorry for the length

This song by the Viscounts was not on CD. By Jan. 1965 the band already had disbanded & there were no more copies of their music for sale in the U.S. i called best music shops in L A, S F & NY to no avail. Others made a cover version ( the Big Band era & the Ventures) but KZbin has only 1-2 of the melancholy lyrics from the true original composition from 1939. Hear all, see all Bios. This was my 1st day test of KZbin, found thanks to you that didn't break your vinyl copy!

Try J.J. Cale's "Too Much for Me" or "Closer" then try and find the bootleg of Cale's band with Wall of Sound baritone sax Steve Douglas doing rare road work and jamming away on "Harlem Nocturne" in club land..." Also the Harlem Nocturnes favored by Cajun line dancers and 2-steppers along with Zydeco aces like Chris Ardoin, John and Geno Delafose with the Eunice Playboys etc {Creative Commons Copyright} Mitchito Ritter\Paradigm Shifters Lay-Low Studios, Ore-Wa Media Discussion List

Composed by Earl Hagen, a big band musician who later went on to write or co-write a ~lot~ of music for film and television. Mr. Hagen was the music director/composer/ arranger for The Andy Griffiths show for a while and it was him whistling the melody on that show's theme song. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earle_Hagen
