More of the Night is an 1990 album released by American R&B/Soul group The Whispers. Released on February 6, 1990 as the follow-up to their massively successful 1987 album, Just Gets Better with Time. While it did not sell quite as well as its predecessor, More of the Night did include several hits, including three R&B top 10 tunes: "My Heart Your Heart," "Innocent," and "Is it Good to You." The album went Gold.

Written by Gary Taylor, "My Heart Your Heart" was originally performed in 1988 by Taylor himself, with exactly the same musical backing and arrangement used here, and appeared as a bonus track on his Compassion album.^[3] Taylor actually produced the version by The Whispers, who turned it into a big hit.
