We've Got Tonight

"We've Got Tonight" (originally titled "We've Got Tonite") is a 1978 song written by American heartland rocker Bob Seger, off his album "Stranger in Town". A melodic, piano-based seduction ballad, it was a hit single for Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, reaching number 13 on the U.S. pop charts and becoming a mainstay of adult contemporary radio airplay ever since. Seger's recording was not an immediate hit in the UK, reaching number 41 there, but made it to number 22 during a 1995 re-release.

In 1983, country-pop star Kenny Rogers recorded the song as a duet with Sheena Easton, and made it the title track of his album "We've Got Tonight". This time it was a huge crossover hit in the U.S., reaching number one on the Billboard Country Singles chart, number six on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart, and number two on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. It also reached the top 30 in the United Kingdom.
