"Don't You Know What the Night Can Do?" is a song recorded by Steve Winwood for his album, ''Roll with It'', released on Virgin Records in 1988. Released as a single, it peaked at number six on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart and spent two weeks at number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. ==Background and use in Michelob commercial== Prior to the 1988 release of the "Don't You Know What the Night Can Do?" single, the song was used in a national TV commercial for Michelob. Though some critics at the time condemned Winwood for "writing songs for business interests" (i.e., "selling out"),〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 Winwood denied that the song had been written for the commercial. In the 27 August issue of ''Billboard'', Winwood's manager, Ron Weisner, said that Winwood granted Michelob use of the song to obtain tour sponsorship.〔 In the 1 December issue of ''Rolling Stone'', Weisner reiterated that the song was written before the deal with Michelob was struck.〔 In a 1990 biography, Winwood explained: "When (album ) was finished, but before it came out, () took the song they wanted, and very quickly shot the commercial. So what happened was the commercial came out before the album. Then the LP was released and the first single which was 'Roll With It'. Six weeks later the second single was due to be released which was the song they used for the commercial. They started putting the commercial on the TV ''before'' the single was out. It looked like I had written a beer jingle!"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don't You Know What the Night Can Do?」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
