Another Friday Night is the fifth studio album by Christian singer - songwriter Kenny Marks, released on November 14, 1989 by DaySpring/Word Records. The album is produced by Bubba Smith.
Two years after Make It Right, Marks' next album, Another Friday Night's theme is on loneliness. The final chapter on Johnny and Jeannie is on the track "Next Time You See Johnny." Accompanied by a music video, the couple whom we met in the previous music video, "The Party's Over," were married and now they're divorced. Johnny left Jeannie with their son. The son feels hurt since his father left, but, in the song's lyric, there is a "fire of forgiveness" and that both Jeannie and their son will be alright without him. Marks and musician Phil Maderia wrote a majority of the album, with the exception of the opening track "Running On Love" which was written by Steve Forbert.
Marks also released Another Friday Night video EP on VHS in early 1990. It features music videos for "Next Time You See Johnny" and "I'll Be a Friend to You" plus an interview. "I'll Be a Friend to You" was nominated for a Dove Award for Short Form Music Video of the Year in 1991.
