Each Night At Nine According to Floyd Tillman, his 1944 hit, "Each Night At Nine" was a very easy song to write. Floyd commented, "It was as easy to write that song as it was to write a letter. That song came from an Air Force barracks and it was just natural at the time. I had been restricted to camp at Ellington Field and there were rumors all around that we were going to be shipped overseas. But it turned out to be just rumors. I carried the song to New York and played it for Dave Kapp and he recorded it. The song was played a lot on network radio but folks couldn't buy the record because of the shellac shortage." Floyd's "Each Night At Nine" made the country charts December 30th, 1944 and peaked at # 4. It was on the charts for 8 weeks. It was the flipside of "G. I. Blues," which came on the charts December 16th, 1944 and made it to number 5.
