The Honeydrippers - "Rockin' At Midnight"
from the album The Honeydrippers Volume One (1984)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #25 (one week)
Weeks in the Top-40: 6

Today's Song of the Day is by the rock "supergroup" the Honeydrippers, put together my Led Zeppelin lead singer Robert Plant to explore early rock music. Their first single, a cover of Phil Phillips' "Sea Of Love", had gone all the way to #3 on the chart (better than any Led Zep single), and for it's follow-up, they released the rollicking early-rock number "Rockin' At Midnight". Originally written and recorded by recorded by Roy Brown, the song gave Robert and his mates their second hit...

"Rockin' At Midnight" went to the American top-40 in February of 1985, while also going as high as #8 on Billboard's rock radio chart. The single even did well in the dance clubs, topping out at #24 there.
