Released in 1961, it reached #3 Pop and #2 in the R&B charts in the United States.[1] It also appeared on Last Night!, the first LP released by the Stax label. The label of the single gives writing credit simply to "Mar-Keys"; it was registered with BMI as having been written by Charles Axton, Floyd Newman, Gilbert C. Caple, Jerry Lee Smith and Chips Moman. The song is in a 12 bar blues form, with brief stops, where Floyd Newman intones "Last Night" before the saxophone solo, which is followed by Newman intoning "Oh!!!!!! Yeah!!!" before the last three choruses, including the pauses, before the song's fade. According to Steve Cropper, in an interview with Paul Nassari of the Sunday Mail newspaper (Adelaide, Australia), "Jerry Lee ‘Smoochy’ Smith came up with the piano riff that was played on organ. Since [producer Chips] Moman didn’t want a guitar on it for whatever reason, I wound up playing the hold-down on the organ on the root note. "It hurts me in the Mar-Keys history when people say I wasn’t in the Mar-Keys because there’s no guitar on Last Night but I have to differ with them."{{citation needed|date=May 2013}} Use in films, radio and television programsDuring the 1960s, "Last Night" became the title tune for the French radio show "Salut les Copains on Europe 1.
