Cool Night is the seventh and final studio album by singer/songwriter Paul Davis. It was his highest-charting album in the United States, reaching #52 on the Billboard album chart, and yielded three top-40 singles, "Cool Night", "'65 Love Affair", and "Love or Let Me Be Lonely". The third was a remake of a song by The Friends of Distinction. This album was the first to be both recorded and mixed fully digitally.[citation needed] It features backing vocals by the Commodores who were simultaneously recording their 1981 album In the Pocket. While the album was a commercial success, Davis hated it, so much so that he ended his contract with Arista to sign with a much smaller label, before retiring from the music industry in 1988.
