In the Still of the Night (Cole Porter song)

"In the Still of the Night" is a popular song written by Cole Porter for the MGM film Rosalie sung by Nelson Eddy and published in 1937.

Two popular early recordings were by Tommy Dorsey (vocal by Jack Leonard) and by Leo Reisman (vocal by Lee Sullivan). Dorsey's charted on October 16, 1937 and peaked at No. 3. Reisman's charted on December 25, 1937 and peaked at No. 9.

The song has since become a standard and has been recorded by many artists. Dion and The Belmonts last record for Laurie Records in 1960 covered it in a more modern style.
