On December 8 in 1956, The Jaguars dropped their stunning version of the classic song “The Way You Look Tonight.”

The group was formed in Los Angeles in 1954 at Fremont High School and tried their hand under several names, releasing obscure records for Los Angeles entrepeneur John Dolphin.

The Jaguars’ version of “The Way You Look Tonight” was released today in 1956 on the R-Dell record label, although their version didn’t receive any attention.

The Classics

Today (December 7) is Pearl Harbor Day, the day the Japanese attacked U.S warships off the coast of Hawaii in 1941.

In addition to pulling the U.S. into a world war, the action unwittingly spawned thousands of songs created and sung by men and women who were shipped off to defend their respective countries.
