Yellow Dog were a British-based rock band from the 1970s, best known for their one-hit wonder song "Just One More Night".
History Founded by the American songwriter Kenny Young, along with most of the members from his previous band Fox, the band enjoyed a solitary domestic Top 10 hit in the UK Singles Chart in 1978 with "Just One More Night". The single was written and produced by Young. It ends on a humorous note with a telephone call in which the protagonist (a woman) continues to beg to be allowed to stay "just one more night" after being told emphatically "No!". Yellow Dog's only other successful song that appeared in the UK Singles Chart was "Wait Until Midnight" (No. 54). They made an appearance playing one song, "Gee Officer Krupke", on The Kenny Everett Video Show. The band were managed by John Morris, at the time the husband of singer Clodagh Rodgers. The band released LPs and singles throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s, but none of them could compete with the success of "Just One More Night", and by 1981, the band quietly disbanded.
