While the City Sleeps ...

In fond remembrance of composer Charles Strouse...

The title was suggested by the song in the 1964 musical "Golden Boy" in which sly fight promoter
Eddie Satin professionally seduces Sammy Davis Jr's character Joe Wellington. Billy Daniels crooned
this seductive urban nocturne, to the utter perfection of Ralph Burns' arrangement of music by the
late Charles Strouse and lyric by Lee Adams.(*)
