"(We Should Be) Together Tonight" by Van Stephenson

Van Stephenson was a singer and songwriter who largely wrote for country acts and was a member of the BlackHawk with Henry Paul in the 90s. But during the 80s, he released three solo albums that produced a handful of minor hits, most notably "Modern Day Delilah," which reached #22 in 1984.

Stephenson's third and final album, "Suspicious Heart" from 1986, was a commercial flop without a charting single. The label tried with "We're Doing Alright," but perhaps "(We Should Be) Together Tonight" would have fared better.

Sadly, Stephenson's career was cut short--he passed away from melanoma in 2001 at the age of 47.
