Tomorrow Night - Lonnie Johnson

Tomorrow Night - Lonnie Johnson
3:05
single, 1948
Written by Sam Coslow and Wilhelm Grosz, 1939

I know this song from Dylan's version on Good As I Been To You.  It's a gentle, bluesy ballad, but a vocal, more in the style of the Ink Spots than what we think of as the blues.  An emotionally charged vocal, with tinkling piano and barely-there guitar lines, plus crooning background vocals.  It was Johnson's biggest hit and became known as his theme song.
