Do It All Night is an album by the American musician Curtis Mayfield, released in 1978.[2] "No Goodbyes" was released as a single. "You Are, You Are" was written by Mayfield for Linda Clifford; it appears on her 1978 LP, If My Friends Could See Me Now. The album peaked at No. 52 on Billboards Top Black Albums chart.[3]
The Globe and Mail noted that "two ballads, 'Keep Me Loving You' and 'In Love, In Love, In Love', add meat to the good side and keep Mayfield's reputation intact as the silkiest of black high tenors."[4] The Bay State Banner, in 1978, deemed the album Mayfield's worst, writing: "Imagine this superb poet making music so dumb, so uninspired in its rhythms you didn't miss the libretto that wasn't there."[5] Rolling Stone opined that "Mayfield sounds distracted or simply confused, as if he'd started a song with something in mind, forgotten what it was, but kept going anyway."[6]
