"No Night So Long", Dionne Warwick's second album for the Arista label, was released in 1980. The LP was originally issued as number AL 9526 in the Arista Catalog. The cover art for this LP features Warwick in a gray background wearing a grey mink coat, which is from her personal wardrobe.

The album's most well known title track, "No Night So Long" was written by Richard Kerr and Will Jennings. Isaac Hayes and Adrienne Anderson contributed another soft love song, "We Never Said Goodbye". The duo had provided Warwick with "Deja Vu" in 1980.

Even though, by reviews, the album is disregarded as an essential of Dionne's, this is one of the most sought out from her Arista catalog.

CD Reissue
This album was reissued on CD in Japan in 1988, but only 500 copies of this CD were pressed. None were made since. It is one of her most sought out CDs and is extremely rare to find. Recently this CD was sold on ebay for $350.00 in the Fall of 2007 and another copy sold for $179.50 May 17, 2008. There has been no word yet on if Arista will re-release this CD in the future or not. In 2005, 6 of the 10 tracks from the original LP were reissued on Warwick's Legends 3-CD import set in the UK.
