You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

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 44.199.0.0/16 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 12:56, 12 May 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.

"'''Somewhere in the Night'''" is a [[ballad]] written by [[Richard Kerr (songwriter)|Richard Kerr]] and [[lyricist]] [[Will Jennings]] which was a US [[Top 20]] hit for both [[Helen Reddy]] and [[Barry Manilow]].

The first song composed by Kerr and Jennings as a team, "Somewhere in the Night" appeared on four 1975 album releases: ''You Are a Song'' by [[Batdorf & Rodney]], ''Rising Sun'' by [[Yvonne Elliman]],<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/Yvonne-Elliman-Rising-Sun/master/297474|title=Yvonne Elliman - Rising Sun|website=Discogs|year=1975 |accessdate=15 August 2018))</ref> ''No Way to Treat a Lady'' by Helen Reddy released July 1975 and [[Kim Carnes]]' November 1975 [[Kim Carnes (album)|eponymous album release]]. The Yvonne Elliman version was released as a single in August 1975 which month also saw the release of a "Somewhere in the Night" single recorded by the song's co-writer Richard Kerr: Kerr's version would have its [[United Kingdom|UK]] release in January 1976 when it also served as the title cut of an album release by Kerr. However, "Somewhere in the Night" did not appear on any chart until the Batdorf & Rodney version was issued as a single in October 1975 and reached #69 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]].

The qualified success of the Batdorf & Rodney version did not preclude the December 1975 release of Helen Reddy's version of "Somewhere in the Night" as the follow-up single to her hit "[[Ain't No Way to Treat a Lady]]". Unique as a third single released from a Helen Reddy album - the first single from the ''No Way to Treat a Lady'' album, "Bluebird", had an abbreviated release - "Somewhere in the Night" hit #2 at Easy Listening radio and #19 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in early 1976. Reddy would have one subsequent single reach the Top 20, that being "[[You're My World]]" in 1977. "Somewhere in the Night" would also reach #27 in New Zealand in February 1976, affording Reddy her final hit in that territory.((citation needed|date=August 2017))

[[Barry Manilow]], whose breakout hit "[[Mandy (Barry Manilow song)|Mandy]]" had been written by Scott English and Richard Kerr, and who later reached #1 with the Kerr/Jennings composition "[[Looks Like We Made It]]", recorded "Somewhere in the Night" for his 1978 album ''[[Even Now (Barry Manilow album)|Even Now]]''. In July 1978 Manilow's version of "Somewhere in the Night" was issued as the [[A-side and B-side|flip]] of Manilow's single "[[Copacabana (song)|Copacabana]]" for its release in the UK where both sides of the single received airplay although the single only reached a UK chart peak of #42. In December 1978 "Somewhere in the Night" became the fourth track from ''Even Now'' to be given single release in the US, reaching #9 on ''Billboard'''s Hot 100 in early 1979.((fact|date=April 2024))

According to liner notes on the Even Now album, personnel on Manilow's recording include:

*Barry Manilow – vocals, piano
*Jeff Mironov – guitar 
*[[Bob Babbitt]] – bass 
*[[Paul Shaffer]] – electric piano 
*Jimmy Young – drums 
*[[Jimmy Maelen]] – percussion
*Dick Behrke - orchestration

''[[Cash Box]]'' said that Manilow's version "develops into an emotional, dramatic work which climaxes at the chorus."<ref name=cb>((cite news|title=CashBox Singles Reviews|date=December 16, 1978|page=20|newspaper=Cash Box|accessdate=2022-01-01|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/70s/1978/CB-1978-12-16.pdf))</ref>
