    Lyrics:
    Whenever dark has fallen
    You know the spirit of the party starts to come alive
    Until the day is dawning
    You can throw out all the blues and hit the city lights
    'Cause there's music in the air
    And lots of lovin' everywhere
    So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Every night)
    You need the evening action (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
    A place to dine, a glass of wine, a little late romance
    It's a chain reaction (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
    You'll see the people of the world coming out to dance
    'Cause there's music in the air
    And lots of lovin' everywhere
    So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Every night)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others
    On a ride through paradise
    And if you feel all right
    Then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight
    Look in your eyes
    Don't you know we can fly
    Just gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Every night)
    'Cause there's music in the air
    And lots of lovin' everywhere
    So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Every night)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    So come on out tonight and we'll lead the others
    On a ride through paradise
    And if you feel all right
    Then we can be lovers 'cause I see that starlight
    Look in your eyes
    Don't you know we can fly
    And if we stay together (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
    We'll feel the rhythm of the evening taking us up high
    Never mind the weather (Ba-dubadub-dubadub-dubadub)
    We'll be dancing in the street until the morning light
    'Cause there's music in the air
    And lots of lovin' everywhere
    So gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    Gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)
    So, gimme the night (Give me, give me)
    (Alright, tonight)

      Well that’s not because there isn’t good new music, just that the radio isn’t playing it. If you want some great funky base, I’d recommend “Them Changes” by thundercat. If you want a song that’s magical like this, I’d recommend “Leave the Door Open” by Silk Sonic. Honorable mentions: “Show me the way” and “Sing” by Jon Batiste, “Dang!” By Mac Miller, and “Wesley’s theory (feat George Clinton)” by Kendrick Lamar

      For a variety of reasons. One, popular music doesn't incorporate studio musicians much at all. Two, image trumps actual talent because what you can market is valued for the faster $ than art. And three, the world is a much much much more openly cynical and jaded place. Kids would call this corny, like it matters what a 14 year old thinks when it comes to music.

      @@RodStewart_Live same here Mr Benson. Thanks for reaching out. I definitely have to attend a concert in the year to come. I absolutely love all your music, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be, ( star of a story). This song takes my mind to a peaceful, romantic, worry free space. To be the star of someone's story is beautiful thing. Such a wonderful song. Thank you sooooo much for taking out time to comment. This meant a lot to me. I will never forget. Thank you and may God continue to bless you and your family forever. ❤️

    This song is as close to perfection as you can get, genius level talent, songwriting, musically. That smooth R&B transition between 70s and 80s captured. Rod Templeton a master!
