Song Titles A-Z

"Save The Last Dance For Me" - The Drifters

To most the following is trivia - but to a musician, nothing is trivial so I call it significa. :D

Doc Pomus wrote the lyrics at his wedding reception. He had polio as a boy and couldn't dance (walked with crutches and eventually a wheelchair), so as he watched his bride Broadway actress/dancer Willi Burke dance at the reception, he had an idea for a song and jotted the lyrics down.

It featured Ben E King on the lead vocals and was released shortly after he left the group to pursue his successful solo career.
