Dusty Springfield - give me the night (Corvette Summer)

[@jamesfarris3487]

Brings back good memories. 1978, I saw "Corvette Summer" and this song always gave me a good feeling of hope and dreams.

[@jg6261]

Same with me!

[@jg6261]

Just got the DVD of Corvette Summer! On eBay you can still get pictures.

[@jamesfarris3487]

@@jg6261 I remember seeing it at the theater when it came out.

[@martinwilson5729]

Ditto my friend, loved this time movie and sonqg

[@ranzamaceanruig]

You have no idea how this takes me back. I took my girlfriend to this movie when it came out because she was a big Mark Hamill fan. We ended up seeing this movie many more times because we both enjoyed it so much. We are married today and still watch it every once in a while. This song and this movie are very special to me. Thank you.

[@nickpez9816]

I'd love to watch it but they never shoe it anywhere

[@brokenwing0899]

I just recently purchase this movie on blu-ray. I didn't think it would be available on blu-ray. I watched it just last night!

[@brendas.1374]

I remember seeing Corvette Summer with my dad in 1978. It was playing at the Village Theatre in Stockton CA. I was 12 at the time.

[@johnarmenta2199]

I watched it in the theater by myself. Yeah - I was 12. One of the most memorable movies in my life for sure. I've had a corvette in my heart ever since.

[@mikegarrens5286]

HBO 1978 I was 15 yrs old I remember the credits were too short for this movie.

[@bengray2568]

I remember watching this in the village theater in Sac Ca when I was 11 ... is it wrong if I owned the Vette I would drive it all the time . hell I would even take Vanessa's van lol. wonder if it even exists anymore ?

[@ErikDB6]

@brenda s I saw it with my dad at the Bayview Village theatre in Toronto. I was not quite 11. One of my best movie memories.

[@AhriyahSa]

How was this not a block buster! Born 1989 and seeing this movie for the first time at 34 years old! GOLDEN♥️

[@gayle5967]

Ahhh, the incomparable Dusty Springfield, this song should've been a hit single, it's so beautiful with her remarkable voice. Rip beautiful lady with the unforgettable voice.

[@miuramustang]

I saw this when I was a little kid. All of us went nuts when we saw the Corvette after Kenny saved it from the wreck yard. Do you remember the scene where he picks up the Corvette badge when he sees it fall? Great Dusty song too.

[@ilililhy1]

That was the baddest of the bad corvettes,Thumbs up for radical.

[@shawnwilson183]

So many memories. Saw this movie when I was in fifth grade and it was the talk of the school. I just love that Era and the music and the cruising! How things have changed.

[@mariofierro944]

Saw this movie, at The Tu-Vu Drive-In, San Diego, Ca. Most people never watched the movies, they went to The Screw-Vu. Great Times, Good era.

[@trnlft]

44 years later and I still hum this song all the time.

[@shashee0000]

Quintessential Gen X movie.

[@2up3rm4n1]

I am not a car person but I have always liked this song and the movie, Corvette Summer.

[@benmuggn]

one of the only vetts i ever want to own

[@notaclerk1]

classic mid 70s movie....not a block buster but something to enjoy while killing time

[@brokenwing0899]

I agree. It's not a great movie. It's just a fun movie. I love it!

[@audrey9640]

Love this song 💕 this movie made me want a Corvette. #CorvetteSummer

[@ericou812]

best movie car ever.. thumbs up if agree

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

One of the best movies ever made. An unsung classic of epic propositions like Cecil B demilles ' the ten commandments ' and ' close encounters of the third kind' the historical accuracy of a young man's trials and tribulations building his dream always gives me super courage. Have a beer and enjoy Kenny Skywalker. 😉

[@ThomasWinters-lo8ky]

"KENNY SKYWALKER"! WELL SAID! 😎👍

[@crazyfugger6703]

I love the fact that you have posted this slide show and song... This is one of the most overlooked icons of the custom car that have been movie stars!! Thanks!

[@bboge762]

GOD I LOVE THAT SONG!! Hey The CAR SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! AWESOME!

[@chrisphillips4920]

Give me the night Dusty

[@zibbyzubb]

Fun movie. Great song, AWESOME CAR!

[@MielR]

Great song- I have the 45. ;-) Love the movie, too.

[@b-swoller5564]

I watched this movie when I was 6 and loves Corvette's more than any car.. I own a 07 corvette c6 z-51 3LT with cam and procharger. I will be buried in my Vette. That's how much I love Corvette's!

[@funnyguyla]

I've has this song stuck in my head for 45 years and only ever heard it in the movie! Thanks for posting. Can't find the song anywhere else.

[@VirginSuicide77]

It is on a 3 CD set of Dusty Springfield’s. It has a black background and she’s holding an apple on the cover. I’m a huge fan so I heard the song before I saw the movie.

[@plasticboy81]

I am from germany and saw this movie many times as a kid on VHS.

"I've been around automobiles all my life. They're mechanical devices. They always let ya down. Ya buy 'em, ya drive 'em, ya break 'em, ya fix 'em, ya sell 'em. Goods in the market place. Don't get too attached to this car. "

[@dspak1804]

Pefect car movie. Real car guys get it. Others don't. For man and his love of the automobile.

[@c3stingray798]

This song says GOOD OLE 1970's!!!!! How I miss those good old carefree days!!!! Gone forever!!!! 😥😥😥😥

[@ekop1778]

BUT STILL IN YOUR HEART DONT GIVE UP

[@AngelOfDeath420]

Chevy For Life! I watched this in the drive in when it came out. I had a blessed childhood!

[@BStinger1969]

I've always loved the movie and the car memories of this movie ❤❤❤this car is awesome id love to see it in person some day I love this car!!❤❤ Mark Hamill/Kenny Dantly is right it's a commodity 2,b bought and sold! Love this car!!

[@shaneburas1124]

great movie, brings back memories when i was a kid, loved it then and love it now. wish it came on more

[@brokenwing0899]

I have always loved this movie! The car obviously for one reason. But, also this song. I wonder where this car is now? I'd sure love to see it!

[@sammywilliams3175]

Mid America corvette parts has it on display in their head offices.

[@ThomasWinters-lo8ky]

I THINK ITS ON DIPSPLAY NO PUN INTENDED BUT AT A MUSIUM SOMEWHERE! A HOT ROD LIKE THIS PUT TOGETHER WILL BE PRESERVED!

[@kramerolp]

Just watched the movie again on N..F last night was great about the 10th time but have not seen it in years Car is gaudy but thats what makes it great..1966 Batmobile , Monkeemobile and this car in my Garage when I win the lottery

[@tamarabrown3817]

I love this song.

[@pjamese3]

I love it too, but it's so hard to find on the various music services. the only Give Me the Night I can find is the R&B version. But I eventually got the song on mp3.

[@Eric930]

Great song! But seriously, how did this never have a die-cast version of this car?!

Hey you with the funny walk! I didn't spend 5 years in this place for just an empty envelope.

This was played during the closing credits of, "Corvette Summer."

[@daphoneguy934]

and the scene at the dance

[@magneto8002]

One of my favorite movies when I was a teen.

[@misterderek7379]

vette looked better gold I think...saw this movie when it first came out back in 77 or 78..cant really remember but I have seen it at least 500 times or more one of my favorite movies of all time..Vegas sure does look different now

[@jamess4535]

Saw this at the Drive-in theater as a young boy.

[@mikegarrens5286]

Everybody talks about the corvette summers corvette!!!!

[@alowha79]

over the top and gawdy customization, I was there in SoCal in the 70's, it was the style. I was fortunate to make the cruise on Van Nuys Blvd before it died. "the good ole days!"...

[@alansmlth7989]

Gawdy? Radical more like it,over the top ,cool to say the least.

[@h2omonsta619]

I drive a corvette because of this movie. It is cheesy, but I love it.

[@2up3rm4n1]

I

[@tdk1004]

Well in particular, this Corvette was a little gaudy. I mean, drivers seat is on the right side, the hood scoop things (particularly my least favorite) and the exhaust pipes on the side. In 1970-something when this movie came out, I'm sure it was a bad-ass car everyone wanted. Oh and I think it is the song, too! Lol never saw the movie to be honest...I'm a Dusty Springfield fan and found this.

[@h2omonsta619]

If you have never seen Annie in young Sheldon you are missing out. She is still beautiful

[@dambitgames7958]

Give me the night tonight.

[@fargeeks]

that movie brought me here

[@LS1LT1]

I love Corvettes in general (currently on my 2nd one) but I was never a fan of this particular ultra gaudy, over the top, "typical 70s" custom LOL. But the song? And more importantly, the movie? SIMPLY SPECTACULAR! This movie strikes a chord with me EVERY single time I see it, it leaves me with an almost sad 'empty' feeling when it's over and I don't know why. Might be the awesome song or it could just be that I don't want it to end! :-) Thanks for posting it. 8-)

[@CogensFamilyTV]

I remember seeing this at the El Dorado drive-in in 78'. I loved the chemistry between Mark and Annie...Wished it had not taken the "stolen car" plot...but instead focused on how this extremely talented, yet socially awkward and emotionally abandoned teen finds his soulmate and how this hooker wannabe..(unwilling to love deeply) finds that love is more than a transaction.

[@dawnpatrol700]

One of the hottest cars I've EVER seen. I like gaudy,and over the top

[@2up3rm4n1]

THAT'S RIGHT! It had two different looks there on its hood! Forgot all about that!

Did they ever make a Model car of this? By Mpc, Revell.Amc,?
