February 1, 2025 Record of the Day

Recorded in the basement of St. Bernadette’s Church in New Haven, CT in 1956, the Five Satins’ “In the Still of the Nite” is considered by many as the quintessential doo-wop song of all time and doo-wop records are very collectible. Lead singer, Fred Parris was inspired to write the song while on guard duty in the U.S. Army. On a 45 on Ember Records is worth up to $50.00 while the first issue 78 on Standord Records can sell up to $2,000.00 today. Both issues are seen here.
