If this song sounds like it's from La Bouche, there's a good reason. Melanie Thornton from La Bouche sings lead vocals on "Tonight Is the Night" by the group Le Click, and this week in 1997, it was at #81 on the Hot 100. It would peak at #68 the following week and then drop off the Hot 100 completely, apparently because it already spent 20 weeks on the chart by that point (including six weeks during a short run in 1995). It also peaked at #45 on Radio and Records in February, so maybe it would have charted higher in Billboard if not removed prematurely.

Peaking at #49 on the Hot 100, "No Matter What" by George LaMond with Brenda K. Starr was at #59 on this week's chart from 1991. Despite not hitting the Top 40, the song must have had some popularity in the New York area, since the song was still played on WHTZ (Z100) a year and a half later in August 1992 (as heard in the second video posted below beginning at 8:27).
