"In the Still of the Nite", also subsequently titled "In the Still of the Night", is a song written by Fred Parris and recorded by his band the Five Satins... Originally the song was titled "(I'll Remember) In the Still of the Nite" to distinguish itself from Cole Porter's "In the Still of the Night”... Later the title was changed to "In the Still of the Night"... The track sold over 10 million copies in 1987 and 1988 as part of the Dirty Dancing soundtrack... The song was included on the highly influential 1959 LP Oldies But Goodies on Original Sound... "In the Still of the Night" is one of two songs that may lay claim to being the origin of the term doo-wop...
