The suggestive lyrics of Tonight’s the Night were considered less than proper when it was released on A Night on the Town in 1976. Nevertheless, Stewart’s song became a huge hit and quickly rose to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained for over two months. Stewart was inspired to write the single when Dan Peek of the band America played Today’s the Day for him.
