About the Song
"Sleep Walk" is an instrumental steel guitar-based song recorded and released in 1959 by Santo & Johnny. The song was composed by brothers Santo and Johnny Farina. (The original single credits three Farinas, including an "Ann Farina" for the composition. It is sometimes reported that their mother or sister helped, but this is apparently false.[1]) It was recorded at Trinity Music in Manhattan. "Sleep Walk" entered Billboard's 'Top 40' on August 17, 1959. It rose to the number-one position for two weeks in September (the 21st and the 28th)[2] and remained in the 'Top 40' until November 9. It was the last instrumental to hit number one in the 1950s and earned Santo & Johnny a gold record.[3] One of the first covers was by Betsy Brye[4] (stage name of Bette Anne Steele) in 1959. While Santo & Johnny wrote lyrics for "Sleep Walk", they never recorded a lyrical version, but Betsy Brye's version.    Download this sheet!
