Description
"The Night" was originally released in 1972. Although it failed to chart when first released, it became a popular track on the northern soul circuit, which led to a successful UK re-release in the spring of 1975, when it reached #7 on the Official Chart.
The song sees Frankie Valli pleading with a girl that he admires to resist the advances of another guy. The album version features the group singing the opening two lines "Beware of his promise, believe what I say" before Valli joins in. The original US single version has Valli singing those first two lines, the 1975 UK release features the album version.
Valli cited this song as an example of a song that should have been a big hit on first release, but didn't chart due to poor promotion by the MoWest label.
