Paul Cotton 1943-2021
I have a few favorite Poco songs that I love very much and this was one of them. I really hadn't kept up on them but as I was driving out of Key West, I heard this acoustic version of The Heart of the Night on #PirateRadioKeyWest. I called the station immediately after the song ended to find out about it. Brian told me this version was by Paul Cotton from #Poco who was considered a local in Key West where he would perform often for many years and had sadly recently passed away. I told Brian that I was an evacuee from New Orleans from Hurricane Ida that made it down to the Keys to chill and was heading back. He told me that day was the 4 year anniversary of Irma for them so we could totally relate to our hurricane stories. I searched for this track high and low on the interwebs. Thankfully #PirateRadio emailed me an mp3 so I put this together to honor the late and great #PaulCotton who had adopted Key West as one of his homes. Enjoy!!!! A special shout out to Kim, Brian, and Landon at Pirate Radio Key West...muchas gracias & I'LL BE BACK God willing!!!! #RipPaulCotton. I really love this acoustic version so his memory lives on. #Pioneers of #CountryRock!!!

I was living in New Orleans when this song came out and it so perfectly captures the essence of the city. I returned many years later and couldn’t quit listening to this masterpiece while I was visiting. I don’t think there is an experience any where quite like the full moon rising over lake Pontchatrain in the cool falling rain, the heavy humid night air, the smells and the relief from the daytime heat, truly the heart of the night is the best time of the day in New Orleans. Poco has blessed so many lives with their music. Thank you!

You’re welcome!!! I’m a native New Orleanian and grew up listening to so many genres of music with Poco being one of them. I enjoyed reading what this song means to you and you are right…the scorching summer days do make the heart of the night time the right time to cool down! Best!!! G

You’re welcome! We had to evacuate from Hurricane Ida in 2021 and wound up in Florida. I made it to the Keys and as I exited Key West this version played on Pirate Radio. I had never heard this version and the radio station sent me the mp3. It’s truly beautiful and made me appreciate Paul Cotton immensely. It has such a soothing quality to it.

Gawd, he was so good. Miss him so. I always take his song with me beach camping and play it late at night with the surf pounding in the background. Can't tell you how good it sounds there. Thank you Paul. And, thank you Gloria for posting your nicely done tribute. Just received my mint 2 CD of 1979 "No Nukes" which I feel has the best version of this song. I know now I have lived in the right era of time.

AFAIC'd, Poco was one of the most underrated bands to come out of American't. Their album LEGEND, is simply one of the best collections of numbers I have ever heard, and I am a 69 yr old hard rocker from South Africa. Sad that " power struggles" an egos, 2 of mankinds' biggest downfalls, exist in rock music, as well as polisicks. There is no hope humanity, Jesus, so come back, asap.

I’m a native New Orleanian and grew up listening to so many genres of music with this tune from Poco being my favorite tune next to “Crazy Love”. Pirate Radio in Key West sent me the mp3 and I felt I should pay homage to Paul Cotton and Poco. I’m so glad this beautiful version of “The Heart of the Night” has reached so many people. It’s just so beautiful!!!
