DESCRIPTION:

""Because the Night" is a song by the , co-written by and which was released as a single in 1978, taken from Smith's album . The song was a hit, rising to #13 on the chart, and helping propel sales of Easter to mainstream success – even as Smith was deciding to retire from a life of constant touring. The song remains one of the best known of Smith's catalog.

The original song was recorded by Bruce Springsteen during sessions for his album. He was not satisfied with it; the Patti Smith Group was working on Easter in the studio next door, with engineer/producer Jimmy Iovine working on both albums. Iovine gave Smith a tape of the song, she recast it, and it was included on Easter, becoming the first single released from that album. The only commercially released recording of a Springsteen version of the song was in the 1986 box set , where Smith was listed as co-writer." - wikipedia.com
