"Strangers in the Night" is a song composed by Bert Kaempfert with English lyrics by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder.[1] Kaempfert originally used it under the title "Beddy Bye" as part of the instrumental score for the movie A Man Could Get Killed.[1] The song was made famous in 1966 by Frank Sinatra.[2][3]
Sinatra's recording of the song reached No. 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Easy Listening chart,[4] and it was also simultaneously a No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] The success of the song led to the release of the album Strangers in the Night which included the title song. This release became Sinatra's most commercially successful album.
Sinatra's recording won him the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance and the Grammy Award for Record of the Year, as well as a Grammy Award for Best Arrangement Accompanying a Vocalist or Instrumentalist for Ernie Freeman at the Grammy Awards of 1967.[6]
