“In The Still Of The Night” is a song written by Fred Parris and recorded by his group, Five Satins.

It has been covered by many artists, including Boyz II Men and Debbie Gibson. It has also been featured in several movies.

This classic was written in 1955 by Parris inside the basement of a local church. The video below gives us a chance to enjoy a live excerpt from the film, Sweet Beat.
