John's new show will be titled The Million Dollar Piano, after a special instrument built for the singer by Yahama. John has not announced any further details about the show itself, but it is most likely to focus on his biggest hits, much like his previous Caesars residency. That show, The Red Piano, was originally booked for 75 nights over the course of three years but was expanded to 241 shows in a five-year period, including two brief European arena tours in 2009.

“Tonight's the Night”

The Shirelles | 1960

The lead cut and title track from this girl group's debut album, "Tonight's the Night" was written by 19-year-old bandmember Shirley Owens, who sings lead, and producer Luther Dixon. The band from Passaic, New Jersey met in high school, first calling themselves the Pequellos. The song's frank thoughts about sexual and emotional surrender was racy for the time, but that didn't stop the Chiffons from cutting a similar version immediately after the original came out. "We were the first female group to write some of our own material," band member Beverly Lee recalls. "We did have some say-so in our writing."
