"'Another Sleepless Night'" is a 1990 song written and produced by Mike "Hitman" Wilson, and recorded by American Dance/House singer Shawn Christopher. The single, the lead off track from the album of the same name, was the first of two number ones for the Chicago-born artist, reaching the top spot in February 1991.[http://www.billboard.com/charts/1991-02-09/dance-club-play-songs Hot Dance Club Songs, Billboard.com, issue date February 9, 1991]

Background



When it was first released in 1990, the single was credited to Wilson, with Christopher being the featured singer, as the song was recorded for a Dance compilation for Arista Records. The feedback from the song resulted in Arista releasing the single with Christopher receiving major billing after it caught the attention of Arista founder Clive Davis, who immediately signed Christopher to a record deal.

Critical reception



Larry Flick from 'Billboard' wrote, "Legendary Chicago house music DJ tries his hand at pumping his own beats, and succeeds greatly with this body-invading jam. Diva vocals from Christopher and disco-styled strings provide a Black Box-like appeal. Will keep you up spinning all night long." Marisa Fox from 'Entertainment Weekly' described it as a "energetic, fast-paced" track with "light, catchy" chorus. She added that "gone are the days when house music meant stone-cold rhythms and hardly any melody."
