Black Night (Charles Brown song)

"Black Night" is a 1951 blues song by Charles Brown. A slow minor-key blues, it is performed in the West Coast blues-style. Brown, on vocal and piano, is backed by a small combo with the addition of Maxwell Davis on saxophone.

"Black Night" was Brown's second single to reach number one on Billboard's R&B chart. It remained at the top position for 14 weeks, longer than any other single. In 2005, it was inducted into the Blues Foundation Blues Hall of Fame as a "Classic of Blues Recording – Single or Album Track".
