"Last Date" is a 1960 instrumental written and performed by Floyd Cramer. It exemplifies the "slip note" style of piano playing that Cramer made popular. It peaked at number 11 on the country chart[1] and at number two on the Hot 100 behind "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" by Elvis Presley.[2] Cramer's recording inspired a number of successful cover versions, including a vocal adaptation by Conway Twitty.
