The Drifters’ hit, “Save the Last Dance for Me,” spent 3 weeks at # 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1960. The story behind the hit is fascinating. Songwriter Doc Pomus, sitting in his wheelchair as a result of polio, wrote the song on his wedding day while watching his bride dancing with their guests. The song gives his perspective of telling his wife to have fun dancing, but reminds her who will be taking her home and “in whose arms you’re gonna be.” The original 45 on Atlantic records is worth up to $30.00. The album, as seen here, can sell for $150.00 today.
