Ruben Armand "Benny" Mardones was an American pop/rock singer and songwriter who was best known for his hit single "Into the Night", which hit the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart twice, in 1980 (#11) and again in 1989 (#20).

"Into the Night" is a song by American pop rock singer Benny Mardones from his album Never Run, Never Hide. Inspired by an impoverished family Mardones met during the writing of the album, the lead single would go on to become a two-time top 20 hit, and a signature tune in Mardones' catalogue.
