"Deep Night" is a song and jazz standard with a melody composed in 1929 by Charles E. Henderson and lyrics written by Rudy Vallee.[1] The tune is written in a minor key.[2]

History

The song was first recorded by Vallee with The Connecticut Yankees,[3] as the B side of his song "Weary River".[4]

It has been covered by many jazz musicians,[4][5] notably Sonny Clark in his album Cool Struttin', Bud Powell and Art Tatum.[6][7] It has also been recorded by vocalists Frank Sinatra [8] and more recently Barbara Rosene on her album of the same name.[9]

Deep Night was also part of the sound track of the film My Own Private Idaho.[10]
