Tonight S The Night Song

In 2003 a musical called tonight s the night opened in london.

Tonight s the night song. Tonight s the night is the title and lead track from the shirelles 1961 album tonight s the night. Tonight s the night didn t do nearly as well closing a year later. And billy joel s movin out. The song proved to be a massive commercial success and became his second us chart topper on the billboard hot 100.

In 2010 rolling stone listed as one of the 500 greatest songs of all time. Written by luther dixon and shirley owens the song dealt with a woman s feelings before losing her virginity and was released as the pre album s second single in 1960. Betty wright tonight is the night betty wright live. Songs like speakin out and new mama seemed to find some hope in family life but tonight s the night did not offer solutions to the personal and professional problems it posed.

Tonight s the night is a direct expression of grief crazy horse guitarist danny whitten and young s friend and roadie bruce berry had both died of drug overdoses in the months before the songs were written. The title track mentions berry by name while whitten s guitar and vocal work highlight come on baby let s go downtown. Tonight s the night gonna be alright is a song written by rod stewart and recorded at muscle shoals sound studio in sheffield alabama for his 1976 album a night on the town. It was the work of a man trying to turn his torment into art and doing so unflinchingly.

The show featured rod stewart s hits in much the same way as abba s show mamma mia. The song tonight s the night from rod stewart. Tim howar who played the lead role stuart clutterbuck later joined mike the mechanics.
