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".

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.

Hello mariana, how is things going with you ?

[@the_beckonator]

My Nan with my Grandad. Nearly after 50 years your dancing again ❤️❤️❤️ Saw her the night before she left us and this was playing. She had boyfriends but Grandad was her true love. You saved the last dance for him x

[@Panckezxo]

So glad QAF brought me here! It's such a beautiful song!

[@andresorellana4874]

[@Dots_thepuppy]

But for some reason on netflix they don't play this :(

[@andresorellana4874]

I know ...but the new one its kinda ok

[@a-ashden179]

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

[@zuzannawisniewska4464]

I'll never get tired of listening this great song over and over again......from Fort Worth, Texas

[@Adara11.11]

So many great memories of my first love & the drifters. It’s Easter Sunday 2022 & listening with a big smile remembering him who passed over 20 plus years ago 💙🌈

[@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.

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]

RockNRollDad88 Wow, that is amazing, what a wonderful man, and even a better wonderful and faithful lady, thanks so much for the background info!

[@annmottwheelus1953]

I’m 78 we had a very sharp generation- no tattoos, clean fun, dances, not many fat kids, good music, church goer!

[@MaryBeth1965]

A church goer who judges fat kids...

[@willweed6168]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@boomerguy9935]

We had pride in our appearances with dressing, hairstyles and hygiene in general. We dressed up for dates, church and any special occasions. Does anybody even know what shoe polish is?

[@richstarr6044]

Not many fatties!

[@Hubbajumba]

I'm so blessed to have parents born in this beautiful era! ❤️ I love this music and it will always be the best music of all time!

[@tommysparkski3487]

I was born in the 60's, I am now 59 yrs old. and I love the music of the 50's,60's, and 70's, still. Thank you, You Tube, for having these classic music videos on for us baby boomer generation to enjoy. The music of today, will never be like the music of my generation. I love to play all these older songs on You Tube videos, it makes me feel like I am back in time, in my younger yrs again, and it brings back a lot of great memories. Thank you, You tube.

[@stonecoldparanormal9674]

I was born in 1974, but I grew up listening to this music bc of my father. Not only did he teach me the morals and principles of being a man, but he also taught me how to appreciate great music. My father passed in 1992 when I was 17, and every time I hear music from this era, I can't help but see my father sitting on the front porch with our old AM/FM radio playing the oldies. Miss u dad.Every Saturday night, we used to listen to Wolf Man Jack on 700 WLW out of Cincinnati, Ohio. That was our oldies' station, and man I miss those Saturday nights. Pizza, pop, the oldies, and playing cards. What a tradition.

[@Goingback1944]

This song by Ben E. King takes me right back to my first dinner dance in 1960 when I was 16 and they played this song. I fell in Love with a girl and this song. You don't forget a night like that in a hurry.

[@lindainparis7349]

Loved the Drifters and went to a family wedding a few years ago where they had a Drifters Tribute group - fantastic!

[@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?

[@edgarobenza4356]

Fully agree that our generation is blessed with real music. I am in my 70's now and It refreshes me listening to the songs of our generation.

[@kathleenking47]

I loved the pre Kennedy assassination era of music Also, especially before 1966 I think, R&R went to ROCK after 1966.. Although it was a mix of songs, it wasnt the same. Part of thus, I believe, MEN SERENADED THE WOMEN and after the 80s, it STOPPED now, it's silly women serenading men The sperm chases the egg..its backwards

[@jerrygray1343]

I'm only 35 but I've seen them live 4 times. All by the age of 16. This was my favorite cd growing up.

[@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.

[@TheBonaparteReport]

+Cerell Morrison does everything need to be about how older generations were better?? this is a wonderful song and there are wonderful songs today too.

[@SuperHOGGA]

+Cerell Morrison ......and no half naked women required to keep you listening ! ( not that I don't like half naked women , mid you ) :-)

[@louiszepeda3304]

[@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.
