Give Me All Night


"Give Me All Night" is the second single from Carly Simon's 13th studio album Coming Around Again. The song was co-written by Simon with Gerard McMahon and produced by Paul Samwell-Smith. An accompanying music video was filmed on Martha's Vineyard and featured drummer Rick Marotta.
The song is one of Simon's biggest Adult contemporary hits, and has been included on multiple compilations of her work, such as the three-disc box set Clouds in My Coffee, the UK import The Very Best of Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better, the two-disc retrospective Anthology, the single-disc Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits, and Sony Music's Playlist: The Very Best of Carly Simon. Simon also performed the song on her 1987 HBO concert special Live from Martha's Vineyard.
The B-side, "Sleight of Hand," was written by Simon and Don Sebesky for John Pielmeier's 1987 Broadway play of the same name.
