PAUL McCARTNEY - GOODNIGHT TONIGHT. Released as a single
on March 23rd 1979 w DAYTIME, NIGHTIME
SUFFERING as B side.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Bass tab by: PJVillanueva
Many people, including myself, thought at the time that
Macca was getting kind of "disco" and rated higher its
flip side, DAYTIME, NIGHTIME SUFFERING, which also winks
a couple of times to the "Disco World", but nobody can
deny that this is a very catchy track and it does have
"something" that made it reach NUMBER 4, even without
the usual airplay. (Disco DJ's didn't play it much and
Rock ones didn't know what to do).
