INTO THE NIGHT - BENNY MARDONES - (1980)

BENNY MARDONES (born November 9, 1946) is an American, of Chilean origin, pop singer and songwriter who is best known for his hit single "Into the Night", which hit the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart twice, in 1980 and again in 1989.

Career

Due to the success of "Into the Night," Curb Records signed Mardones and he recorded "Into the Night '89." The track appeared on his self-titled release (known as the "Blue Album" by his fans.) Not long after that, Mardones appeared on a Showtime tribute to Roy Orbison, alongside such luminaries as Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Johnny Cash and K.D. Lang. Elvis Presley's band was the house band for the evening. When Mardones came on stage to sing "Running Scared," few people knew his name, but when he finished the song, he received a standing ovation.

Even though his lone hit charted twice, Mardones is still considered a "one-hit wonder." He continues to have a substantial fan following in Syracuse, New York with his band called the Hurricanes.

Mardones began his career as a songwriter. He has written songs for people like Brenda Lee and Chubby Checker. He used to demo the songs he wrote and someone suggested that he record his own songs. Since that time he has written and recorded over 100 songs.

"Into the Night" is a 1980 song by American pop singer-songwriter Benny Mardones, from his album Never Run, Never Hide, and re-released in 1989.

It is unusual for being one of only 10 recordings to ever ascend to the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart twice. The chartings, in 1980 and in 1989, were of the same recording. Chubby Checker was first to do this with his cover of "The Twist", a single that went to #1 in September 1960 and again in January 1962. Other artists to achieve the feat include the Contours, who charted "Do You Love Me" in 1962 and 1988, and the Righteous Brothers, who charted "Unchained Melody" in 1965 and 1990.

Benny Mardones originally released "Into the Night" in June 1980. The song peaked at #11 on the Hot 100 for two weeks in September 1980, logging 20 weeks on the chart before falling off in late October.

Personal life

Mardones was born in Cleveland, Ohio, raised in Savage, Maryland, and, as of 2008, resides in Southern California. He has one son, Michael, who was born in 1985.

Mardones has been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.

INTO THE NIGHT - BENNY MARDONES

Traduzida para o idioma Português

NOITE ADENTRO

ELA TEM APENAS DEZESSEIS ANOS
DEIXEM A EM PAZ ELES DIZEM
SEPARADA POR TOLOS
QUE AINDA NÃO SABEM O QUE É O AMOR
MAS EU QUERO QUE VOCÊ SAIBA

SE EU PUDESSE VOAR
EU TE PEGARIA
EU TE LEVARIA NOITE ADENTRO
E IA TE MOSTRAR O AMOR
COMO VOCÊ JAMAIS VIU


É COMO TER UM SONHO
ONDE NINGUÉM TEM UM CORAÇÃO
É COMO TER DE TUDO
E VER TUDO SE DESPEDAÇAR

E EU ESPERARIA ATÉ
O FIM DOS TEMPOS POR VOCÊ
E FARIA DE NOVO - É VERDADE
EU NÃO POSSO MEDIR MEU AMOR
NÃO HÁ NADA COM O QUE COMPARÁ-LO
MAS EU QUERO QUE VOCÊ SAIBA

REFRÃO
