Benny Mardones (born November 9, 1946) is an American pop singer and songwriter

who is best known for his hit single "Into the Night",
 

which hit the Top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart  TWICE, in 1980 and again in 1989.

 

Due to the success of "Into the Night," Curb Records signed Mardones and he recorded "Into the Night '89." The track appeared first on this self-titled release (known as the "Blue Album" by his fans.)

Not long after that, Mardones appeared on a Showtime tribute to Roy Orbison, alongside such luminaries as Bob Dylan, John Fogerty, Johnny Cash and k.d. lang.

 Elvis Presley's band was the house band for the evening. When Mardones came on stage to sing "Running Scared," few people knew his name, but when he finished the song, he received a standing ovation.

He continues to have a substantial fan following in Syracuse, New York with his band called the HURRICANES !!

Mardones began his career as a songwriter. He has written songs for people like Brenda Lee and Chubby Checker.  Since that time he has written and recorded over 100 songs.

                                                                                                    

 

Main article: Into the Night (Benny Mardones Song)

The story behind "Into the Night" charting twice is this: In 1989, KZZP, a radio station in Arizona, ran a segment titled "Where Are They Now?" The most popular question was "Whatever happened to the guy who sang 'Into the Night'?" Scott Shannon, then program director for Pirate Radio in Los Angeles, added "Into the Night" to its playlist. Radio stations across the country followed suit and "Into the Night" was once again a hit.

Mardones was 33 years old when the song became a hit for the first time and he still lives quite well on the royalties received from this song that was also a hit in 1989.

      

Personal life

Benny Armand Mardones was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but raised in Savage, Maryland. His father, Ruben Mardones, was from Santiago, Chile.

In 1980, despite his professional success, Benny's personal life was at an all time low. He found himself battling the demons of drug addiction, and discontinued all concert performances, recordings, and appearances.
