Cheap Trick is an American rock band from Rockford, Illinois, formed in 1973. The band's classic lineup consisted of frontman Robin Zander, guitarist Rick Nielsen, bassist Tom Petersson, and drummer Bun E Carlos.  

Cheap Trick released its debut album in 1977 and first found success in Japan with the release of its second album, In Color, later that year. The band would achieve mainstream popularity in the United States in 1979 with its breakthrough album Cheap Trick at Budokan. Cheap Trick reached the Top 10 in the U.S. charts in 1979 with the Budokan live version of "I Want You to Want Me" and topped the charts in 1988 with "The Flame". 

Cheap Trick has performed live more than 5,000 times and has sold more than 20 million albums. Over the course of its career, Cheap Trick has experienced several resurgences of popularity.  Cheap Trick was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

Heaven Tonight is their third studio album, produced by Tom Werman and released in 978. The album cover features lead singer Robin Zander and bassist Tom Petersson.  

Heaven Tonight is considered Cheap Trick's best album by many fans and critics. While their debut album Cheap Trick showed the band's darker, rawer side and In Color explored a lighter, more pop-oriented persona, Heaven Tonight combined both elements to produce a hook-filled pop-rock album with an attitude. Popular songs from this album include the anthemic "Surender", "Auf Wiedersehen", the title track, and a cover of The Move's "California Man". 

Heaven Tonight is also known as the first album ever recorded with a 12-sting electric bass.
