i would sing “strangers in the nite” in a baritone voice
worked everytime
That’s a good song. If you have the voice, it sounds great accapelo, as you probably did. The melody for Strangers In The Night was written by Bert Kaempfert, a German jazz musician. Before the lyrics came, he called the song
“Beddy Bye”. So you were on the right track, using it as a lullaby.
My nephew’s baby daughter responded to someone singing “O Holy Night”. She stopped crying immediately and just listened.
