Best wishes to her.Without doubt her best song was "Because the Night" composed by Bruce Springsteen and released on her 1978 album Easter.

The original song was recorded by Springsteen during sessions for his Darkness on the Edge of Town album. Then Patti Smith was working on Easter in the studio next door, and the bands were exchanging tapes; Springsteen even composed some songs in the other band's style. With male-centered lyrics and a reported Latin feel, the original version of the song — a workingman's lament — wasn't finding a place on the Springsteen album. Smith took the song and recast it from a female perspective, and it was included on Easter, becoming the first single release from that album.
