I'm not old enough to speak surely about this, I'm only in my 60s, but when I was growing up in the 60s and 70s there were new great songs every week. Dozens of them. This kept up until the end of the 70s and then someone pulled the brakes. Almost all the new content for the last 40 years was the same old same old and the same old was just formulaic unlistenable indistiguishable junk interspersed with something unique but much worse sounding. And I found it to be the same across all genres from Reggae to Country, Rock, Rap and Jazz. It just shut down. The death knell was MTV when music became "leave nothing to the imagination" video and the music was just an excuse to shake titties on air. At least there's that. But if you pry under the hood you will still find some gems. Not mainstream, but there are some wonderful youngsters on KZbin, most of them playing good oldies like this.

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.)

[@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".

Oh man, how I love these guys still! Loving them still and listening still on October 25, 2021…I’ll be 65 in a few months and I’ve been loving these guys since late 60 s when I was a preteen…. I love Doo Wop and all of Motown….they made great music and it’s still timeless and classic… it’ll live on forever as long as we keep playing and listening! God bless them all and us. 🌹🌸🌺❤❤

This song was done the best by these guys---I listen to 100 covers, and none of them were better then The Drifters!

[@dwightdodd3734]

That is an ABSOLUTE fact.

[@dallysing1136]

Elvis was one of them

[@darthtrip7188]

Elvis's version of this song was nowhere near as good as the The Drifter's version of this song.

[@soulstalgiarecords77740]

If I am not mistaken the lead singer at the time Was Ben E King (Stand By Me).

[@frankflaim8894]

Alan, couldn’t agree with you more. I am 70 as well and we were blessed to hear so many wonderful solo and groups in the doo-wop era! Never will be duplicated.

[@andrewmorrison0432]

One of my favourite 60s songs from The Drifters. X 😊

Been listening for almost 50yrs... never loses its magic of bringing back so many wonderful memories.

Hello Pat, how is things going with you ?

I'm an 80's kid loving this!!

[@elyssantaris5146]

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

[@Rob_430]

I’m 77, we had the best music in the 50’s and 60’s, and we danced to it!

[@RoxanneSantori]

I wish music was still like this. So meaningful..

[@Machautty]

***** Is that an SS Nazi affiliated sign next to your name?

[@miketheman7544]

***** Rommel was the German general that was driven from N Africa and was in command of the German coastal defenses along the coast of France at the time of the D day invasion.He committed suicide rather than be murdered by the gestapo as per hitler's "request". First name by the way was Erwin.

[@SuperCabrito14]

If you find out what that "meaning" is, would you let me know?

[@RoxanneSantori]

***** How in gods green earth did my comment trigger a political debate? Your comment was the only sane one. Thank you for that.

[@RoxanneSantori]

***** You also. I am sorry this comment just went off the radar of sanity. Take care.

[@cerellmorrison7223]

Far more intelligent than the music of today by many young men. No swearing, no violence, no stupidity.

[@joyceoglinebrant4315]

+Cerell Morrison At least this music makes sense and you can understand the meaning.

[@johnjohnson4628]

The Drifters - one of the best groups ever. Rarely did they not have success with any of their recordings.

[@magicbus63]

Between 1954-1979 the music was totally awesome

[@lindainparis7349]

Real instruments. Diverse genres.

[@bethdeguzman8839]

@TOMMY nope 1950 to 1994

[@yajlemag1]

great stuff, to be sure, and I grew up with it. But listen to music from 1890 to 1937 for some of the finest music ever written or performed by major musical talents, both trained and untrained, pop, classical, country or otherwise. There's a vast library of amazing mostly American music few people get a chance to know.

[@brianrocks2087]

The classic era of rock and roll

[@tcollins5608]

I'm 51 and have loved this song my entire life. I have someone in my life who this song has meaning for. I now understand why this song has always been so powerful for me. I've been waiting for him all of my life. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@monikaschroder2328]

Phantastic song, great melody, very good rhythm. 🎼🌹🎼

[@elberttownsell2902]

I so love this song, here's a man that's not a jealous man, to the contrary , he's a very secure man, so he understands his woman is very beautiful, so quite naturally guys will want to dance with her, but he's cool with that, he's giving her freedom to enjoy herself, because after everything is said & done, she will not give her heart to anyone, but him...."save the last dance for me" Classic lyrics.

[@joshmadden9850]

What a great song, one of the best!

[@RockNRollDad88]

I think that's the mening of the song too. But the guy who wrote this, Doc Pomus, was a cripple and therefore couldn't dance a whole lot, but his girl loved to dance, so he would go out with her so she could dance while he was just watching, and then at the end of the night he would get up and dance the last dance with her as good as he could. At least that's what iv'e read somewhere.. I don't know if it's the truth or not, but I think it's such a great story!!!

[@elberttownsell2902]

A classic. Shows an emotional intelligence ahead of its time - not overly possessive but clearly stated - save the last dance for me.

[@raymonddowd3321]

the guy who wrote the song had polio and was on braces, and at his wedding he sung this song to his new bride. she could dance and have fun but the last dance was his and his only.
