    Disco, Funk, and some soul! What a great song!

    “Give Me the Night” was written & composed by Rod Temperton and produced by Quincy Jones.

    The song peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped Billboard’s R&B Singles chart for three weeks in September of 1980, making it George Benson’s first of two number-one hits on the R&B chart. It also reached the top 10 in the UK and won him a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male.

    Patti Austin provided the backing & scat vocals on the song as well.
