<v Speaker 1>Today's topic, Rod Stewart Two Nights the Night Everything's Gonna

2
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Be all Right. Let me take you back to the

3
00:00:14.439 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>electric sounds of the nineteen seventies. Now, if you tuned

4
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>into your A M station during that glorious decade, you

5
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>couldn't help but catch the unmistakable voice of one Rod Stewart.

6
00:00:32.600 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 1>A true rock and roll music artist with charm to spare,

7
00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>he delivered tunes that had us all feeling fine, and

8
00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 1>none quite as captivating as to Night's the Night Everything

9
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:51.759
<v Speaker 1>is Gonna be all right? Ah? Can you hear it?

10
00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>That smooth opening? Recorded at the legendary Muscle Show sound

11
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:03.439
<v Speaker 1>studio in Shuffe Build, Alabama, this song from his nineteen

12
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:07.719
<v Speaker 1>seventy sixth album A Night on the Town, became not

13
00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.439
<v Speaker 1>just a hit, but a phenomenon. Talk about a track

14
00:01:12.879 --> 00:01:18.079
<v Speaker 1>that had the whole nation humming along. It made its

15
00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>debut at number eighty one on October second, nineteen seventy six,

16
00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and rose quickly, climbing from number eight to the top

17
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>of the chart. The steadfast Anthem rocketed to the number

18
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>one spot on November thirteenth, where it nestled like a

19
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>cozy cat for an impressive eight week stay. It was

20
00:01:46.879 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>the longest stay for a single in the US that year,

21
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 1>and the longest since the Beatles Swept Us off our

22
00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Feet with Hey Jude back in sixty eight. To Nights

23
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 1>the Night not only reached the top of the charts

24
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>in America, but also soared high in the charts worldwide.

25
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 1>In Canada it was a six week sensation and even

26
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>reached the UK and Australia. And Let's not forget. By

27
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>the end of nineteen seventy seven, it proudly claimed the

28
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:31.159
<v Speaker 1>title of the best selling single in the States. Can

29
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 1>you believe it? It became so iconic that, as of

30
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 1>two thousand eighteen, it sits as the nineteenth most popular

31
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>song in the history of the Billboard Chart. So let's

32
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:53.080
<v Speaker 1>raise a glass and celebrate the timelessness of Rod Stewart.

33
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And remember, my friends, every time you hear that classic tune,

34
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:03.960
<v Speaker 1>let it remind you that, come what may, everything is

35
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>going to be all right. Keep the music playing, and

36
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>as always, take care of each other. Out there. I'm
