Conversely, I really like Robert Smith's vocals and obviously they are part of why The Cure's sound is so fantastic. But when you remove the vocals, it's like treating yourself to a whole new version of the song.....

A surprise hit for the spring and summer of 1969 ... released in October 1968 by Jamaican singer Desmond Dekker, the single was the first UK reggae number one and among the first to reach the US top ten. Most of us in the US had never heard of reggae yet and the sound was strange, yet the tune seemed oddly familiar with the lower register harmonizing vocals during each chorus reminiscent of those heard in early 60's pop rock 'n roll songs. That aspect of it made it sound a bit out of time and had many of us thinking we were hearing an early 60's "golden oldie" we had somehow forgotten. It was hugely popular all the same, a catchy song with elusive lyrics that were difficult to understand except here and there. Despite "Israelites" being recorded and released in 1968, the Uni 45 discography shows its cataloguing in 1969. It debuted in the UK in March 1969 and soared to #1 for one week. It also reached #1 in Netherlands, Jamaica, South Africa, Canada, Sweden and Germany. In the US it debuted on the singles charts in May, reaching #9 on Billboard and #8 on Cash Box on July 5, 1969 (CB date). Very dance-able, if you know how to dance to it ... and the young lady in this video appears to know just how, with a little help from Korla Pandit on ghost organ.
Rod Stewart Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright) A Night on the Town, 1976 "Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)" is a song by Rod Stewart, recorded at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama for his 1976 album A Night on the Town. The song became his second US chart topper, peaked at #5 in UK, #3 in Australia and charted well in other parts of the world as well. The song features whispers from Britt Ekland who was Stewart's girlfriend at the time. While primarily recorded at Muscle Shoals, the final vocal was recorded at Caribou Ranch studios, where Stewart, Eckland and producer Tom Dowd spent several days.

Right now Noah Kahan, because he's my stepson's client and he's playing on the Late Night Show. David is backstage...
Good cover with some updated lyrics. Apparently Dolores O'Riordan liked their version so much she was going to lend her vocals to the track but passed away before it could happen.
