Tonight's the Night is the debut album by American girl group quartet The Shirelles, released in 1961. It contains the hit song "Will You Love Me Tomorrow". Although Shirley Owens was the group's main lead singer, Tonight's the Night also features lead vocals by Doris Coley and Beverly Lee; all four members share lead for "Doin' the Ronde". Later on in 1963, "Unlucky" was covered by Dionne Warwick for her debut album. "Boys", which had been the B-side of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and a regional hit on its original release, became better known after it was covered by The Beatles on their debut album Please Please Me in 1963.
