Caravan Tonight is the first album by American singer-songwriter Steven Grossman. Released in 1974, it was the first album dealing with openly gay themes and subject matter within its lyrics to be released on a major label (Mercury Records).[1] At the time of its release, Stephen Holden in Rolling Stone described it as, "...staggering, its appeal to the finest human values universal."[2] Grossman himself said of the album, "The songs on the album came from a time when I was flipping out. Really confused... But for the first time I could write about what I felt not what I thought other people wanted to hear."[3]
English model, actress, and singer Twiggy recorded a cover of the title track "Caravan Tonight" on her 1976 self-titled album.[4]
Singer/songwriter Mark Weigle covered "Out" on his 2002 album Out Of The Loop; it was a digital duet with Grossman.[5]
