Shadows Of The Night
"Shadows of the Night" is a song composed by D.L. Byron explicitly for the 1980 film ''Times Square (1980 film), Times Square'', which tells the story of two young runaways in New York City.

It was released as a single by Helen Schneider in 1981 as well as on her album ''Schneider with the Kick''. According to Byron, Schneider's version went 5× platinum in Germany and the Benelux countries. This successful song is not mentioned in her own biography.

You Better Run
"You Better Run" is a song by the Young Rascals. Written by group members Eddie Brigati and Felix Cavaliere, it was released as the band's third single in 1966 and reached the top 20 in the United States. This song is noted for its repeated roller coaster musical chords in the bass guitar, going from C to B-flat to C to E-flat to B-flat to C. Critical reception A review in a 1966 issue of ''Billboard'' magazine described the song as a "big-beat wailer" and a "strong follow-up to 'Good Lovin'. In the book ''Pioneers of Rock and Roll'', author Harry Sumrall wrote that the song represented the apex of the band's sound and complimented guitarist Gene Cornish's "slashing chords". AllMusic's Matthew Greenwald called it "a classic garage rocker with a punkish energy hatshowcased the band's live chops to a great effect, as well as Felix Cavaliere's awesome soul-inflected vocals." Music journalist Fred Bronson noted that "You Better Run" was a commercial disappointment, having peaked at ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
