All Night Long
Faith Evans · 1998Faith Evans recorded 'All Night Long' featuring Puff Daddy for her second album Keep the Faith, with production by Ron 'Amen-Ra' Lawrence, Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs, and Evans herself, incorporating a sample of Unlimited Touch's 1980 post-disco track 'I Hear Music in the Streets.' Released in March 1999 on Bad Boy Records, 'All Night Long' reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the second top-ten single from Keep the Faith, reinforcing Evans's commercial standing as a leading voice in late-1990s R&B and gospel-inflected soul. The track stands as a defining moment in Faith Evans's catalogue and in the Bad Boy Records late-1990s sound, its smooth production and Evans's expressive vocal delivery marking it as one of the label's most polished R&B crossover productions of the era.
