"Tonight's The Night (Gonna Be Alright)" was released on Rod Stewart's seventh studio album, A Night On The Town, in the summer of 1976.

This album will forever remind me of the rainy summer and fall of 1975 that I spent listening to it on an 8-track along, with two other albums (George Harrison's Extra Texture and Jethro Tull's Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young to Die!), in an old mail jeep that my dad had given me, my first "car"...not the one I was hoping for, but better than walking! ;-)

The record is full of really great songs, and I especially love "The Killing of Georgie" (Part I and II). I believe it remains Rod Stewart's best album as it contains the most consistently strong song selection.

Actually I had almost completed a quick video for another track ("Pretty Flamingo") from this album quite some time back but hadn't thought about it much until I started this one....might go back soon.

[Lyrics]
Stay away from my window
Stay away from my back door too
Disconnect the telephone line
Relax baby and draw that blind
Kick off your shoes and sit right down
Loosen off that pretty French gown
Let me pour you a good long drink
Ooh baby don't you hesitate cause
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
C'mon angel my hearts on fire
Don't deny your man's desire
You'd be a fool to stop this tide
Spread your wings and let me come inside
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you girl
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
Don't say a word my virgin child
Just let your inhibitions run wild
The secret is about to unfold
Upstairs before the night's too old
Tonights the night
It's gonna be alright
Cause I love you woman
Ain't nobody gonna stop us now
