Great song, and Franke went on the write Time of my Life and Hungry Eyes from Dirty Dancing plus be involved in the stage version. He did well for himself!
On this day in 1982 {July 3rd} Franke and the Knockouts performed "Without You (Not Another Lonely Night)" on the above episode of the Dick Clark ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was at position #75 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart, three weeks earlier it had peaked at #24 {for 2 weeks} and it spent fifteen weeks on the Top 100... It reached #45 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... The New Jersey group had two other Top 100 records, "Sweetheart" {peaked at #10 for 2 weeks in May of 1981} and "You're My Girl" {reached #27 for 2 weeks in August of 1981}... In 1987 group leader Franke Previte won the Academy Award for 'Best Song' as co-composer of "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" from the movie 'Dirty Dancing'... Franke Jon Previte celebrated his 73rd birthday two months ago on May 2nd, 2019...
remember the 70s and 80s. wonderful songs with emotion and feeling. just a little bit better than rap crap about treating women like pigs and killing cops
This was a treasure of a hit in the 1980s! Way better than the music today! Love this song! ❤
PERFECT. The 1st power ballad ever before hair bands!
Anyone else out there, listening in 2024?
Another great lost song of the 80's. Listening in Aug. 2020. Who else.

2023... still a nice song!!
Still have this single from ‘82. Classic!
The wall of sound at the beginning and throughout the song reminds me of I’m Not In Love by 10CC

Great great band. Man I LOVE this song. I grew up neighbors in NE Indiana in farm country to Billy Ellworthy the guitarist. Love these guys.
Wow I just discovered this group in 2024, loving them, great music from a great decade.

Have always loved that song so much!
Waaaay underrated vocalist. Franke had serious pipes.
Great song and a super nice guy!❤
Top 10 pop song in my very personal chart. Amazing tune all time best in my life
Frankie is a very talented songwriter singer!!
_I remember - like it was yesterday_
They sounded like starship before starship
with that voice i would agree
This would a make a great ending theme to an anime.
This band was to good to only have two hits! They broke up way to soon.

Was it taken from "Making The Point" or "Below The Belt" by Frankie And The Knockouts?
Below the belt😉

LOL
I love their music but I don't know why he's putting so much emotion into a song that he's not singing.. I prefer live music.. not a track.
