"Strangers in the Night" is a song made famous by Frank Sinatra, who recorded it in 1966. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and was the title song for his most successful album. One of the song's most recognized features is Sinatra beginning the melody again with the syllables "doo-be-doo-be-doo," as the track fades to the end. The song was featured in the film "A Man Could Get Killed" starring James Garner.

Origins

The English lyrics were written by Charles Singleton and Eddie Snyder. The music was originally composed by Ivo Robić for the music festival in Split, Croatia. Robić later sang the song in German ("Fremde in der Nacht") and in Croatian ("Stranci u Noći"). A thorough adaptation and an arrangement of the piece was done for Sinatra's version by Bert Kaempfert.
