"Midnight, the Stars and You" is a British-American popular foxtrot song written by Harry M. Woods, Jimmy Campbell and Reg Connelly and published in 1934.
The most famous recorded version was performed in 1934 by Ray Noble and his Orchestra with an uncredited Al Bowlly on vocals. A foxtrot-tempo ballad, the song is considered one of Bowlly's "outstanding" vocal efforts.[3]
Other recordings of this song contemporary to the Noble version are by Hal Kemp, Roy Fox, Harry Leader, Fred Hartley, and Maurice Elwin.
It is notable for appearing in Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror film The Shining.
