"Almost Saturday Night" by Karla DeVito

Karla DeVito (no relation to Danny) rose to fame as a backup singer on Meatloaf's classic "Bat Out Of Hell" tour. Her solo career never took off, though, despite her bright yet meaty vocals. Her debut album, "Is This A Cool World Or What" almost spawned a top 100 hit with her cover of the Grass Roots's "Midnight Confession". Another well done cover on this record is her version of "Just One Smile", originally by Blood, Sweat & Tears. Her cover of John Fogerty's "Almost Saturday Night" is my favorite, though. 

DeVito released another noncharting record in 1986 called "Wake 'Em Up In Tokyo" and also had a song called "We Are Not Alone" featured on the soundtrack to The Breakfast Club
