Give Me the Night

by George Benson

"Give Me the Night" is a 1980 hit single by George Benson.
 It hit number one on the Billboard Soul Singles chart and reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100.

Produced by Quincy Jones, it features a sophisticated funk-disco sound. It marked a successful shift for the jazz artist into mainstream pop/R&B.
 Features iconic musicians like Patti Austin on backing vocals and scat, Herbie Hancock, and Lee Ritenour.
 Written by Heatwave member Rod Temperton, the song captures the energy of nightlife, romance, and dancing.
 Benson was initially hesitant about his "crazy" vocal performance on the intro, but Quincy Jones insisted on keeping it, and it became a hit.
