Tomorrow Night
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Tomorrow Night" is a 1939 song written by Sam Coslow and Will Grosz. The same year Horace Heidt peaked at number sixteen with his version of the song. In 1948, Lonnie Johnson had a crossover hit with the song, which had Johnson on guitar and Simeon Hatch on piano. Lonnie Johnson's version hit number one on the R&B charts for seven non consecutive weeks and peaked at number nineteen on the pop chart [1]. Lonnie Johnson's version of "Tomorrow Night" would become his theme song. Lavern Baker had another hit on it in 1956. The song was recorded by Elvis Presley during his tenure at Sun records.[2] Bob Dylan recorded the song on his 1992 album Good As I Been To You.
