Night Time Is the Right Time

Nappy Brown recorded "Night Time Is the Right Time" in 1957, a song that moves between blues and rhythm and blues. The lyrics speak of a special moment, of that calm that comes when night falls. Although it wasn't an immediate success, the song gradually filtered through the years until other artists picked it up and took it to another level. Ray Charles interpreted it in his style, and so did Rufus and Carla, James Brown, and later Creedence Clearwater Revival on their album *Green River*. The Animals also included it in their first album, released in 1964. It's a song that's worth listening to, and that stays with you.
