“Harlem Nocturne” is a jazz standard written by Earle Hagen and Dick Rogers in 1939. The song was adopted by bandleader Randy Brooks the next year as his theme song. Originally written as a tribute to saxophonist Johnny Hodges, Earle Hagen said that he was inspired by Duke Ellington’s band, and he wrote the piece for Ray Noble Orchestra member Jack Dumont.
The haunting version by The Viscounts has the distinction of being a tune released twice by the same band and rising high on the Billboard charts each time: first in 1959, when it peaked at #53, and again in 1966, peaking at #39 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It has been reported that there are about 500 covers of this classic. It’s also notorious as a slow strip/grind bluesy piece.
