This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.202.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:04, 17 October 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''Dawn (Go Away)'''" is a song written by [[Bob Gaudio]] and [[Sandy Linzer]] and recorded by [[The Four Seasons (band)|The Four Seasons]]<ref name=pc20>((Pop Chronicles |20| 3|Bob Gaudio))</ref> in November 1963.<ref name=sessionography3>((cite web |url=https://thatfourseasonssound.typepad.com/seasonally/2012/05/frankie-valli-and-the-four-seasons-sessionography-part-4.html |title=Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons Sessionography Part 4 |author=<!--Not stated--> |date=2012 |website=That 'Four Seasons' Sound |access-date=July 24, 2020 |quote=November 1963, as they pursued their law suit against the soon to be defunct Vee-Jay label, saw their first milestone recording which would launch their new sound and hits....but not at Philips studios as they prepared to sign contracts, but at Atlantic Studios.

The song hit No. 3 in the early part of 1964. According to ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'', it was the 25th biggest hit single of the year, placing behind "[[Rag Doll (The Four Seasons song)|Rag Doll]]", another Four Seasons hit, which was No. 24.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://top40weekly.com/top-100-songs-1955-2015/|title=Top 100 Songs (1955-2016) - Top40Weekly.com|date=27 June 2016|website=Top40weekly.com|access-date=16 May 2022))</ref>

==Background==
It was recorded as the Four Seasons were involved in a royalty dispute with [[Vee-Jay Records]]. As the lawsuit proceeded, the group recorded "Dawn" and a handful of other songs and withheld the master tapes from Vee-Jay, which then claimed [[breach of contract]]. The dispute was not settled until 1965, a year after the Four Seasons officially left Vee-Jay.

The group signed with [[Philips Records]], a subsidiary of [[Mercury Records]], shortly thereafter. "Dawn (Go Away)" was released in January 1964. It took four weeks to climb the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Hot 100]] chart to number 3 on February 29, 1964,<ref>((cite book |title= The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits: Eighth Edition |last=Whitburn |first=Joel |author-link=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research |page=238))</ref> prevented from going higher by [[The Beatles]]' "[[I Want to Hold Your Hand]]" and "[[She Loves You]]", which became the top two singles of 1964. "Dawn" remained at number 3 for three weeks, then dropped to make way for two further Beatles singles ("[[Twist and Shout]]" and "[[Please Please Me (song)|Please Please Me]]"). During its six-week run in the Top Ten, only Beatles hits ranked above it in the chart.<ref name=RecordResearch>"Billboard Hot 100 Charts – The Sixties/The Seventies", Record Research Inc, 1990</ref>

''[[Cash Box]]'' said that the song "is delivered with that stompin', falsetto-highlighted money-making touch of the Four Seasons" and praised the [[arrangement (music)|arrangement]] and conducting by [[Charles Calello]].<ref name=cb>((cite magazine |title=CashBox Record Reviews |date=January 25, 1964 |page=8 |access-date=2022-01-12 |url=https://worldradiohstory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/60s/1964/CB-1964-01-25.pdf |magazine=Cash Box))</ref>

Originally written as a [[folk music|folk song]], arranger Charles Calello sped it up and, at Valli's suggestion, added a galloping [[rhythm guitar]] borrowed from [[Kai Winding]]'s version of "[[More (Theme from Mondo Cane)|More]]". Drummer [[Buddy Saltzman]] accented the recording with bombastic around-the-kit fills and [[ghost note]]s without using any [[cymbal]]s.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.bapresley.com/silverthreads/history/magazine/buddysaltzman.html|title=The Cowsills - Magazines|website=Bapresley.com|access-date=16 May 2022))</ref>

The single version, with a two-line sung introduction, was never recorded in true stereo. Early "stereo" album releases were rechanneled (with the high and low frequencies on one channel and the midrange on the other); later stereo issues, from the Edizione d'Oro greatest hits album onward, include different takes of the recording. One begins with a short drum intro, featuring a louder and more frantic drum backing by Saltzman, and slightly different vocals. Both versions are listed as 2 minutes 11 seconds long, but the stereo "Dawn" is 2 minutes 30 seconds, and the mono version with the "Pretty as midsummer's morn. They called her Dawn" intro is 2 minutes 45 seconds.<ref>Thomas J McKeon personally playing and observing phonograph records, August 28-September 1, 2013</ref>

"Dawn (Go Away)" was the only Philips single crediting the Four Seasons that did not have the notation "featuring the 'sound' of Frankie Valli".
