Oh, What a Night" is a song first recorded by the doo-wop group the Dells and released in 1956, originally under the title "Oh What a Nite". The song is said to have been inspired by a party, which had been held in the Dells' honor by some female friends of the group. The Dells' original recording on the Vee Jay label peaked at number four on the R&B singles chart. In 1969, they refashioned it as a soul song on the Cadet label.

Oh, What A Nite ‎(CD, Album, Ltd, RE, RM, Pap). Oh What A Nite ‎(LP).

Oh yeah, and Oh What a Nite, their first hit and their musical signature for more than a half century after it was released in 1956. It’s a fine tune, set apart by beautiful singing. It reached the top five on the R&B charts, so when Vee-Jay Records compiled a dozen Dells songs into a long-playing album in 1959, it was naturally titled Oh, What A Nite. Even though Oh What A Nite was a romantic ballad, as color-blind as People Will Say We’re in Love, the Dells were associated with a genre that was still considered vaguely dangerous, threatening to replace good music with jungle music. Chuck Barksdale over the years came to know his way around the music business.

Album: Greatest Hits (1956). The group - known as The Rays and The El Rays before settling on The Dells - formed in Harvey, Illinois in 1952, where they spent a few years singing at ice cream parlors and on street corners before getting a deal in 1955 with the esteemed Chicago label Chess Records to release a single, which flopped. The next year, they signed with Vee Jay and released "Oh What A Nite," which became a big hit, reaching on the R&B chart
