Elvis Presley – Such A Night

Do you know?

The song “Such a Night” was written by Lincoln Chase and originally recorded by the Drifters in 1953. It was a Top 10 R&B hit for the group, and their version is considered to be the definitive recording of the song.

Elvis Presley recorded his version of “Such a Night” in 1960, and it was released on his album “Elvis Is Back!” Presley’s version is more uptempo and rockabilly than the Drifters’ version, and it features a prominent saxophone solo by Boots Randolph.

Presley’s version of “Such a Night” was not a major hit in the United States when it was first released, but it became more popular in the years that followed. It was released as a single in the United Kingdom in 1964, and it reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.

“Such a Night” has been covered by many other artists over the years, including Cliff Richard, The Beatles, and Jerry Lee Lewis. It remains a popular song today, and it is often performed by Elvis tribute artists.

The song is about a passionate love affair that the singer will never forget. The lyrics describe the excitement and intensity of the relationship, as well as the sadness that the singer feels when it is over.

“Such a Night” is a classic Elvis Presley song, and it is a testament to his versatility as an artist. He was able to take a song that was originally recorded in an R&B style and make it his own by adding his own unique rockabilly flair.

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 loveOh 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
