Best version bar none, by a great group ,never to be equalled . where has talent like this gone ,female singers with all their clothes on and still sexy as hell
There are few songs that when you hear them for the first time you get the disc and play it non stop one hundred times and never tire of it even years later. Fire is one of those
i always like the orginal versions,i believe if its good enough,there will be other versions to either try to outdo the first or just to even equal it,thats my opinion: )
@dreadedlurgy Im sure they were very big in america but did have a few hits in the uk.lady gaga katy perry and the like should watch this and see how to sing and perform and true talent at work.Cant stand modern ,reality tv based garbage and songs like this only go to show how sad and shallow modern music is.I feel pity the the youngsters today missing out on quality like this.

No... BECAUSE THE NIGHT was actually just written by Bruce Springsteen... Patti Smith has a credit on the song because when she recorded it she merely CHANGED A FEW OF THE WORDS... and that was IT... She's even said it herself.
Springsteen wrote this for Elvis Presley, his idol growing up. He sent Elvis a demo of it in 1977, but Presley died soon after. The song would have fit well for Elvis, as it's about a passionate lust a couple has for each other.
Springsteen wrote this while he was waiting out litigation with his former manager. He couldn't record his own songs, but still did plenty of writing.

I dunno - this version is awesome but don't forget "Because the Night" by Patty Smith. TO think had he lived, Elvis Presley would have sung "Fire," as Bruce Springsteen wrote the song with Elvis in mind to sing it.
I didn't know that, honestly. I thought Springsteen had written it on his own but now that I think about it I remember reading somewhere they technically co-wrote it. My bad, thanks for clarifying
I love this group. One of the best female groups ever.
