...double A-side with "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" in the U.S. In the UK, the United Artists UK UP 35210 single flipped the two sides. The single peaked at position #8 on the Billboard Hot 100, but did not chart in the UK. In Germany, it was their only song leading the charts.
John Fogerty wrote "Hey Tonight" and the band rehearsed it before the group hit the studio in November 1970. Fogerty regards the rocker as one of his better songs on the album despite the fact it was written in turmoil (the band was breaking up at that time).
"Jody" is a mythical character showing up in Fogerty's lyrics to such songs as "Hey Tonight", ”It Came Out of the Sky” and “Almost Saturday Night”. "Jody" might be a homage to an American rocker Jody Reynolds, one of the early influences of John Fogerty. The Creedence frontman recorded a cover version of Jody Reynolds' "Endless Sleep" in 1997. He also used a couple of phrases from the lyrics of ”Endless Sleep” in his song “Searchlight” which appeared on the Centerfield album in 1985.
Creedence Clearwater played "Hey Tonight" live for a first time at the private party the band held to music writers at Cosmo's Factory on December 12th, 1970. The debut in a regular concert took place in the closing concert of the Fillmore West in San Francisco on July 4th, 1971. The show was broadcast live by KSAN-FM in the Bay Area.
The song remained in the set list until the breakup of the band in 1972. One of the versions recorded during the European Tour in fall 1971 ended up to the Live in Europe album. Another live version taped in Hamburg, Germany, on September 17, 1971, was added to the bonus tracks on the 40th Anniversary CD Edition of Pendulum in 2008.
