The Dells- The 1969 Soul Classic "Oh What a Night" performed live.
"Oh, What a Night" is a song first recorded by the doo-wop group The Dells and released in 1956, originally under the title "Oh What a Nite". The Dells' recording peaked at number four on the R&B singles chart and was released on the Vee Jay Records label. Re-released in 1969, the song was refashioned as a soul song released on the Cadet label. "Oh, What a Night" was notably different than its original counterpart with an altered arrangement and tempo. The re-release reached number ten on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and number-one on the Best Selling Soul singles char on Billboard. The song is said to have been inspired by a party, which had been held in The Dells' honor by some female friends of the group. The 1969 version was ranked #260 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. www.signaturesoundsonline.com
