GOODNIGHT MY LOVE
Jesse Lorenzo Belvin (December 15, 1932 –
February 6, 1960) was an American R&B singer,
pianist and songwriter popular in the 1950s,
whose success was cut short by his death in a
car crash aged 27.
In 1956, he signed a contract with Modern
Records, but also continued to sing for other
labels under different names. His biggest hit was
"Goodnight My Love", which he co-wrote and
which reached #7 on the R&B chart.
The piano on the session was reportedly
played by the 11 year old Barry White.
The song became the closing theme to Alan
Freed's rock and roll radio shows.
