Night Out is the 1979 debut studio album by
Ellen Foley, a long-time backup vocalist for
Meat Loaf. Seven of the nine tracks were cover versions of Foley's favorite songs, while two were co-written by Foley, one of which was "We Belong to the Night", which hit #1 in the Netherlands and #31 in Australia around Christmas of 1979. The musicians were mostly from
Ian Hunter's touring band for his 1979 album You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic, with the addition of Australian musician
Kerryn Tolhurst on slide guitar.
Hunter and ex-
Spiders From Mars guitarist
Mick Ronson produced the album. Ronson suggested the two
Philip Rambow songs and the piano backing for the final track "Don't Let Go", written by Hunter.[1]
