Strangers in The Night is a famous traditional pop song from the great singer Frank Sinatra.
Written by Charles Singleton, Eddie Snyder, and Bert Kaempfert, the song initially received the name Beddy Bye and it was part of the soundtrack for the movie A Man Could Get Killed.
It became widely known after it was covered by Frank Sinatra. The singer recorded it on April 11th, 1966, and released it in the same year.
The free Strangers in The Night piano sheet music was released shortly after, and fans loved it.
With a length of 2:35 minutes on the initial single album version and one of 2:35 minutes on the album Nothing but The Best, it's one of the classic songs from the '70s.
Strangers in The Night was released as part of the album with the same name, and it features a memorable segment at the end, when Sinatra sings doo-be-doo-be-doo-be, just as the song fades.
The full scat singing is featured on the version from the album Nothing from The Best.
The single was produced by Jimmy Bowen and it was one of the most successful songs of the '70s.
It topped Billboard Hot 100 for fifteen weeks, and it also reached number one on the Easy Listening chart and the UK Singles Chart.
The rewarding work brought Frank Sinatra three Grammy Awards: one for Best Arrangement Accompanying A Vocalist Or Instrumentalist (Ernie Freeman), one for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, for the singer, and also one for Record Of The Year.
