Today's The Day - America (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Today's The Day (America, 1976). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-06-14. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Today's The Day," written by member Dan Peek, was America's ninth top 40 hit landing at the no. 23 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1971 (Whitburn, 2013). It had greater success on the Billboard Top Adult Contemporary chart on which it reached the top no. 1 position (Whitburn, 2002). Peek told the story of when Rod Stewart came to his studio and he said: "I played 'Today's the Day', the song I had been working on. Rod said that he liked it and that it gave him an idea for a song. Of course after his recording of 'Tonight's the Night' came out I laughed when I remembered what he'd said. I'm sure I probably smacked my forehead and said, 'Why didn't I think of that?'" (Peek, 2004). Stewart's "Tonight's the Night" rose to no. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and stayed there for eight weeks! (Whitburn, 2013).

Lyrics:

Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way

So come home to me now
Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

Turn me out
Turn me out on this fine day
'Cause all about
All the people like to play

So come home to me now
Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

Hold me close
You turn nighttime into day
And you're the most
Brightest star that lights my way

So come home to me now
Cause it won't matter anyhow
I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day

I've got this feeling that today's the day
I've got this feeling today's the day [
