A really cool single from Xavier. Video up on Britain's TOTP video page: www.bbc.co.uk/broadband/mediawrapper/consoles/totp_video/nb_rm_console.shtml?pack3-gb-120-05-0006-6_xavier_givemethenight_4x3

I really like the remixes, especially the Freemasons Vocal Mix and the ATOC Radio Mix. Cool song.

This sucks major ass. Hopefully it doesn't give George Benson a stroke.

This guy absolutely destroyed George Benson's #1 classic.

"Xavier - 'Give Me The Night'

Now, if you're old enough to remember George Benson's original version of this track from the early '80s, you may as well stop reading now. It really isn't that much different ('cept George didn't sing like a girl). But if you were but a twinkle in your dad's eye back then, you're in for a treat. 'Give Me The Night' is one of the best tracks from the dying days of disco and this 21st century version retains all the funkiness of the original. It makes a change from all those recent dance tracks that just sample a line from an old classic. Here you get the full song in all its glory. Even YOU will be saying they don't write songs like this anymore."

***/5 stars; from TOTP.

It might be a grower on me but George Benson's version is waaayyyy better.

Hmm, I've never heard of his version, but I really like those two remixes. :)

I heard a sample of this new cover. I didn't really like it that much in terms of vocals. George Benson's version is way better.

It's only a matter of time before someone does a remix with the original vocals. That would be cool.

However, that Freemasons mix is still good.
