There's a Moon Out Tonight
1958 single by The Capris From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"There's a Moon Out Tonight" is a song originally released in 1958 by The Capris.[1] The initial release on the Planet label saw very limited sales, and the Capris disbanded.[2][1] In 1960, after a disk jockey played the song on air, the public interest in the song that was generated led to it being re-released on the Lost Nite label, and later that year the Old Town label.[2][1][3] The group reunited shortly thereafter.[2][3]
In early 1961, "There’s a Moon Out Tonight" spent 14 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart peaking at No. 3,[6] while reaching No. 11 on Billboard's Hot R&B Sides,[7][8] and No. 14 on Canada's CHUM Hit Parade.[9]
The song was ranked No. 50 on Billboard's end of year "Hot 100 for 1961 - Top Sides of the Year"[10] and No. 51 on Cash Box's "Top 100 Chart Hits of 1961".[11]
