Cool Night is the seventh and final studio album by singer/songwriter Paul Davis. It was his highest-charting album in the United States, reaching #52 on the Billboard album chart, and yielded three top-40 singles, "Cool Night", "'65 Love Affair", and "Love or Let Me Be Lonely". The third was a remake of a song by The Friends of Distinction. This album was the first to be both recorded and mixed fully digitally.[citation needed] It features backing vocals by the Commodores who were simultaneously recording their 1981 album In the Pocket. While the album was a commercial success, Davis hated it, so much so that he ended his contract with Arista to sign with a much smaller label, before retiring from the music industry in 1988.
This album included all 4 members of the Atlanta-based band Whiteface, which were Doug Bare, Benny Rappa, Steve Hardwick, and Barry Dunaway, who took over bass when Kyle Henderson left Whiteface to form the new wavepower pop band The Producers. Hardwick and Rappa also toured with Davis and can be seen in numerous live videos.[2]
