night time is the right time
in 1938, big bill broonzy recorded the song with slightly different (and more suggestive) lyrics. the same year, roosevelt sykes recorded a second version titled "night time is the right time #2", also with slightly different lyrics. these earliest recordings of "night time is the right time" are credited to roosevelt sykes and leroy carr. although carr died in 1935 without any known recordings of the song, "night time is the right time" bears considerable similarity to carr's "when the sun goes down". the latter was phenomenally popular song at this time, having been covered by the ink spots and also serving as a model for "love in vain" by robert johnson.
