"The Drifters" es un longevo grupo vocal afroamericano de rhythm & blues y doo wop muy popular entre los años 1953 y 1962, que, con varias escisiones, siguen en activo en la actualidad.
El grupo fue creado por Clyde McPhatter ("Billy Ward & the Dominoes") en 1953, y en ese mismo año consiguen su primer éxito con "Money honey", al que seguirían otros como "Such a night" o "White Christmas".
"Save the Last Dance for Me" [Resérvame el último baile] es el título de una canción popular escrita por Doc Pomus y Mort Shuman, registrada por primera vez en 1960 por Ben E. King de "The Drifters".
La canción pasó tres semanas no consecutivas en el # 1 de la lista pop de EE.UU. , además de registrar una semana en la cima de la tabla R & B. En el Reino Unido, la grabación alcanzó el puesto # 2 en diciembre de 1960.
Antes de "The Drifters" y su "Save the Last Dance for Me", nadie se quedaba en las fiestas hasta el final. Esta balada hizo que ese final sonara al amor verdadero.
Letra
You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
Who gives you the eye, let him hold you tight
You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand 'neath the pale moonlight
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
Oh, I know that the music's fine (oh, I know, yes I know)
Like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
Like sparkling wine go and have your fun
Laugh and sing but while we're apart
Don't give your heart to anyone
But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
Baby, don't you know I love you so?
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never, never let you go
I love you, oh, so much
Can't you feel it when we touch?
I will never, never let you go
I love you, oh, so much
You can dance, go and carry on
'Till the night is gone and it's time to go
If he asks, if you're all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him, no
'Till the night is gone and it's time to go
If he asks, if you're all alone
Can he take you home, you must tell him, no
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me
'Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
And in whose arm's you're gonna be
So darlin', save the last dance for me, hmm
Save the last dance for me, hmm, hmm
Save the last dance for me, hmmm
Save
Save the last dance for me, hmmm
Save
