The laid back boogie feel of %22After Midnight%22 is a prime example of Cale's signature style. Cale rerecorded the song for his 1972 album Naturally.%22After Midnight%22 was also in many ways the catalyst for Cale's own solo recording career. Cale was unaware of Clapton's recording of the song until it became a radio hit in 1970. He recalled to Mojo magazine that when he heard Clapton\u2019s version playing on his radio, \u201CI was dirt poor, not making enough to eat and I wasn\u2019t a young man. I was in my thirties, so I was very happy. It was nice to make some money.\u201D Cale's friend and producer Audie Ashworth then encouraged him to capitalize on the song's success by recording a full album, Naturally, released in 1972. The single by Cale reached #42 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972.Cale released a live version on the album Live in 2001." . "Liberty Records" . . "false"^^ . "2007-10-05"^^ .
