Go Back

Such A Night

Words & Music by Lincoln Chase

It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
The moon was bright oh how so bright
It was it really was such a night
The night was alight with stars above
Oo-oo when she kissed me
I had to fall in love

Oh it was a kiss oo-oo what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Oh how she could kiss oh what a kiss
It was it really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips
Sets me afire
I reminisce and I'm filled with desire
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

Oh, what a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
Oo-oo such a kiss, such a night

It was a night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
Came the dawn and my heart and her love
And the night was gone
But I'll never forget the kiss
The kiss in the moonlight
How well I remember, I'll always remember

That night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
But I'd gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
How well I remember, I'll always remember

Oh that night oo-oo what a night
It was it really was such a night
When we kissed I had to fall in love
Well she's gone, gone, gone
Yes she's gone, gone, gone
Came the dawn, dawn, dawn
And my love was gone
But before that dawn
Yes before that dawn and before that dawn
Oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo, oo-oo
Such a night

Such a Night was written by Lincoln Chase and recorded by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters (Atlantic 1019), whose recording reached #5 on the rhythm & blues chart in 1954. Johnnie Ray's recording of Such a Night (Columbia 40020) that same year was banned from the air in some areas because of its suggestive lyrics. It reached number one in England, however. Other recordings of Such a Night include those by Bonnie Paul with Sy Oliver's Orchestra (Essex 352), Dinah Washington (Mercury 70336), and Jane Turzy (Decca 29087), all in 1954; Vince Everett (ABC Paramount 10313) in 1962, and Conway Twitty (ABC Paramount 10550).

Elvis recorded Such a Night on April 4, 1960, at RCA's Nashville studios. Take #4 was selected for release. The single release had an eight- week stay on Billboard's Hot 100 chart, reaching a high of #16
