"Goodnight My Love" is a popular song written by George Motola and John Marascalco in 1956.[1]
The song was originally recorded by Jesse Belvin and released in 1956. John Marascalco produced the recording for Modern Records. Some sources claim that Barry White - who would have been 11 years old at the time - played piano on this recording.[2] However, in an interview in 1995 White denied this.[3] [4]
The Jesse Belvin recording reached #7 on the US Billboard R&B chart in 1956.[5] The McGuire Sisters cover, also released in 1956, reached #32 on Billboard's pop chart.[6]
The Paul Anka 1968 recording reached #27 on the Billboard singles chart in a 10-week chart run in 1969. The single peaked at #18 on the Record World chart and #13 in Canada.[7]
