This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #EnterNight. Here's the great original version of "Night Time Is the Right Time": Nappy Brown: The Right Time (1957) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dw3_eLTXm2c Nappy Brown (real name: Napoleon Brown Goodson Culp, 1929-2008) was a former gospel singer who recorded a long string of excellent singles for Herman Lubinsky's Savoy label between 1954 and 1962. A few of them were hits, but in this case it was the later remake by Ray Charles (and Margie Hendrix) that made the charts. #NappyBrown #rhythmandblues #SavoyRecords
