This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #EnterNight. Here's the great original version of "Night Time Is the Right Time": Nappy Brown: The Right Time (1957) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw3_eLTXm2c Nappy Brown (real name: Napoleon Brown Goodson Culp, 1929-2008) was a former gospel singer who recorded a long string of excellent singles for Herman Lubinsky's Savoy label between 1954 and 1962. A few of them were hits, but in this case it was the later remake by Ray Charles (and Margie Hendrix) that made the charts. #NappyBrown #rhythmandblues #SavoyRecords

In the early 1970s Roy Wood, Bev Bevan, and recently added Jeff Lynne were winding down The Move and transitioning to their new project Electric Light Orchestra. This song is from their first album, and was written and sung by Wood. Electric Light Orchestra - “Whisper in the Night” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8qp0gCgtLc Wood crashed out of the band over creative direction and was gone before the band’s second album was finished. Jeff Lynne (with Bev Bevan) went on to huge success with ELO, and then as a songwriter and producer in his post-ELO period. The breakup of ELO was also acrimonious with Lynne and Bevan fighting over the ELO name and touring competing bands using ELO’s legacy. But from the end of The Move (“California Man”, “Do Ya”) through their heyday in the 1970s and early 1980s (“Mr Blue Sky”, “Don’t Bring Me Down”, and many others), ELO was an influential force in music with their Beatles-esque sound and jukebox flying saucer iconography. #TuneTuesday #EnterNight
