For Benny Mardones…”Into The Night” Was A Song That Changed Lives

By Greg Jan 6, 2022 | 1:47 PM

We all know Benny Mardones and his mega hit “Into the Night” from his 1980 album “Never Run, Never Hide.” Benny’s blue-eyed soul voice and energy made that a song a staple for radio not only when it came out, but as it is still being played today ( it went on to chart again in 1989).  A “timeless Classic” as we say in the business.  Unfortunately, Benny passed away at the age of seventy-three from complications of the disease in 2020. In an interview Benny Mardones tells how the song was really written and its meaning that may surprise you.
