One of Many Nights is the eighth and final studio album by the S.O.S. Band.[1][2] It was released by Tabu Records in 1991.[3] It includes the songs "Are You Ready", "Get Hyped on This" and "Someone I Can Love".

The single, "Sometimes I Wonder", peaked at No. 12 on the BillboardHot R&B Singles chart.[4]

Production

One of Many Nights was produced by Curtis Williams.[1] It contains the first recorded appearances of the rapper Kurupt, before he signed a recording contract with Death Row Records.[5] The album cover art was created by A&M Records co-founder Herb Alpert.[3]

Critical reception

The Indianapolis Star called the album "a major disappointment," writing that "many of the 10 tracks suffer from rhythmic sameness, as if the writers and producers are locked on a particular beat."[9]
