Solved: 80's rock or adult contemporary song about "the night"

This is very frustrating b/c I'm usually very good at tracking down the songs I hear. But this search may be a bit too wide for me.

I heard this song in Kroger last night (a grocery chain if not familiar) and the guy has a super raspy voice and high range, the song is slow, sounds like it would be an 80's adult contemporary or rock song, it may not have technically counted as "rock" back then, but it has a harder edge even though it's a ballad. And the chorus had the words "in the night" or "the night." At the end the guy gets super intense.

I don't think it's Rod Stewart or Tom Waits or Springsteen or Joe Cocker, b/c I would've recognized their voices. It was a little more stringent from what I remember, like a Robert Plant or that dude from AC/DC, but again, I feel like I would've recognized that.

I looked up Bob Seger, and I almost felt like I had the right guy, but I couldn't find the song. I really don't feel like it's earlier or later than 80's for the style, but it could be by a few years.

any help I could get would be super great.

It sounds like it could be Billy Squier "Lonely Is the Night" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKlu3A3BBgE Hope that's the one.

nope, neither of these are it, they're too fast. the song was a bit more...romantic? kind of on the bluesy side or just...i don't know. definitely slower though.

thanks for trying!

I agree

This sucks! I don't know if it's just because it was the first time I'd heard it, but I remember the song being more intense than the Benny Madrones song, although it is VERY close. Close enough that it may be it, or I might have to just accept this one and forget about it, lol. But if anyone can think of anything else please keep it comin'! You're doin great!

"Into The Night" - Ace Frehley...perhaps?

The Benny Madrones song is the right one, but apparently there are several versions. THIS is the one I heard:

It's a few steps lower and a little longer, and his voice is a little rougher. I'm just glad I stuck with it, otherwise it would've driven me crazy. Awesomeness! Thanks you guys!!
