It took me so long to find this song and that's because for the bits I remembered it was difficult to pin down an era. Incredible songwriting. I wish they'd done more stuff that was "heavier" like this. I like most of their songs, though.
My Mum always had Northern and Motown playing in the house. I tried to explain to her when I was about 12 how amazing Oasis are and that her music is old and that she needs to listen to the genius that is Noel Gallagher. But she never gave up and I now have this song on repeat as well as lot's of other greats.
I was dancing to this in 1972 with my girl at uni. I always tried to dance no better than she did but got lost in the music and did real Northern Soul steps and spins. She stood and said 'I never knew you could dance like that!' The look she had said it all (she was from Warrington, England). Love this.

Have just read your comment to my mother and she said abet he's a northerner lol she is obsessed with northern soul, as they call it here in north of England, a guess in America and rest on world they just call it soul music
Watched the Proms on BBC 2 on Saturday 26th August 2023 and Northern Soul was the first part of the programme. One of the singers from the Northern Soul group sang this and the audience were on their feet. The reminder brought me to listen to the original.

"So he paints a pretty picture, And he tells you that he needs you, And he covers you with flowers, And he always keeps you dreaming, If he always keeps you dreaming, You won't have a lonely hour, If the day could last forever You might like your ivory tower". And that, ladies and gentlemen, is love bombing right there. Bob Gaudio, ahead of the game.
I feel this song has a lot of layered meanings. On one level i read it as the environment warning us about our excessive materialism ( the seducer being those white picket fence advertisements) and not heeding the warning until we start to see destruction. Its about being seduced by the superficial and instant gratification.
@@riffraffrichard I don't think the writer was being that metaphorical---it is about a guy warning his former girl about her new guy---but I can appreciate your interpretation,Richard
I'm just watching the BBC Proms from the RAH about Northern Soul this track has just been covered and wow what a great song, it sounds better than ever, fabulous Frankie, what a great track still after so many years, thank you.🎉👞👖👗👟📯🥿😍
I'm doing exactly the same! I remember this song from my childhood and was always fascinated by its structure. And rhe story behind the album is intriguing.
Yes Until the Proms I'd never heard this song. You might think the Proms might be stuffy but Darell Smith was brilliant. Since then I've been hooked on Northern Soul. If anything, I prefer the Proms version for it's sheer exuberance. The orchestra loved it as did the rockers in the audience. Full marks to whoever chose to do it.

I bought this on 45 when it peaked the UK charts in May 1975. I played it so many times a day that the record was quickly worn out. Still one of my all time favourite records.
it's a bitter-sweet feeling to have played a record so many times that it just becomes an ornament....bitter inasmuch as it feels like losing a dear friend, sweet inasmuch as you can think of the hundreds of hours you've listened to it for it to become unplayable

SG - yes, that instrument that usually is played by a quiet guy, standing to the side, a bit humble and a bit meek in his persona. You take him (and his bass) out of the equation and the entire piece falls flat on its face.

Funnily enough, I have my dog to thank for hearing this. It's a hot day and my boy simply refused my planned walk, but was happy to stop at our local pub. This song was playing and I managed to pick up enough words to look it up. Great singing, great song. I love it!
This was a comeback hit for them in the UK,when it reached number 7 in the singles chart here in mid-1975. Being 10 years old at the time,it reminds me a bit of going away on holiday with the family that summer so I must have heard it played on the radio a bit around then. The Four Seasons had an even bigger hit later that year with Who Loves You,then scored a number 1 in early 1976 with December'63 (Oh What a Night).
This is a song performed on the Proms last night & i've gotta say that it's was done so effin' great, so BLOODY awesome!! It's in my head when I woke up this morning! I Love it Love it love it!!
I looked up at the balcony when the chorus hit at the Albert hall and everyone was moving together, as one, it was absolutely beautiful, incredible. That feeling of just pure joy - will never ever forget it.
@@philgreenough9730- You must be confusing the song with the album it was featured on (Chameleon) which was a massive failure for the group. Technically speaking the song itself couldn't "bomb" because it was never released as a single in the US. The Night was released commercially in the UK where it was a top 10 hit for the group on the UK Singles Chart, thanks in part to its popularity in the Northern Soul circuit.
@Music4TheSoul Thanks for your insight. This is the reference I used from Wiki "The Night" is a song by Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons that 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 no. 7 on the Official Chart.["

@@littlenicola6726 literally you are correct as it was released on Motown Records when the label moved from Detroit to Miami, but it was rediscovered by a whole new generation of uk soul fanatics who make up the northern soul scene which still flourishes to this day. If you aren't a brit soul fan you wouldn't get it. The fashions. The beats and the drugs. Guessing you aren't a Brit. That's cool btw.
@@strictlynorton I agree, this is a northern soul classic. I missed it all at the time as i was just a bit young for the seventies - younger UK folks can hopefully rediscover this stuff.
A lot of it was a record label dispute. Valli was with Motown at the time and it wasn't working out. So in '74 he went to Private Stock, but he and Bob Gaudio only had enough money to buy back one song... and instead of this, they chose "My Eyes Adored You" (which worked out well for them).

I had the privilege of seeing Frankie Valli and the current line up of the 4 seasons twice in the last 4 years. They came to the BIC in Bournemouth. On one side was an American lady who’d flown just to see them. On the other was a Swedish lady who’d done the same. They didn’t disappoint. Frankie was in his 80’s and hit the hight notes.

This takes me back to the days when youth clubs were the place to go. Sad they're no longer around. Outward bound activities, boxing, self defence classes for girls, sports. I'm sure there'd be less violence on the streets. Strange how 1 song can evoke such memories.
You tell kids that we went to Youth Clubs and Discos, and they look gone out at you, yet for our generation they were great ... we went out to enjoy ourselves, to dance, meet people and do activities.
used to go to the twisted wheel, witworth st manchester, or stoke on trent for northern soul nights hear this played at these venues soft drinks only served and no alcohol

So he paints a pretty picture
And he tells you that he needs you
And he covers you with flowers
And he always keeps you dreaming
If he always keeps you dreaming
You won't have a lonely hour
If a day could last forever
You might like your ivory tower
But the night begins to turn your head around
And you know you're gonna lose more than you found
Yeah the night begins to turn your head around
Beware
Of his promise
Believe
What I say
Before
I go forever
Be sure
Of what you say
For the words may come too easy
If you don't believe I'm leaving
And goodbye will come too quickly
If you really think he loves you
If you really think he loves you
You would give your love so sweetly
If that day could last forever
You would fall in love completely
But the night begins to turn your head around
And you know you're gonna lose more than you found
Yeah the night begins to turn your head around
But the night begins to turn your head around
And you know you're gonna lose more than you found
Yeah the night begins to turn your head around
And you know you're gonna lose more than you found
Oh the night begins to turn your head around
Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night
Yeah, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night, the night
Oh the night begins to turn your head around
Goddamn rhetoric king, right here. Cicero could learn a thing or two.
I'm 66 now and reminiscing back in my Navy days dancing to this in Jets nightclub Plymouth.🥳
Hi, I am from Plymouth, where was Jets? Union st by any chance?

The Night.
Those Northern Soul nights.
If only time could have stood still.
The old wooden dance floors.
The music come through the dance floor into your body .
The heat .
Remember those days .
Remember those nights.
Remember Northern Soul.
The Greatest dance era ever.
Way before my time but as soon as I saw the remix of beggin I researched them. I didn’t know how many hits they had. This is music.
Great memories of a top top tune still gives me goosebumps now

Epitome of northern soul. Wigan casino lives on
Fabulous intro. Remember dancing to this when it emerged on the Northern Soul scene. Also remember walking back from Wigan Casino (15 miles, missed the bus!) and arriving home at 6 am to find a police car outside the house. Not quite what I had in mind for an all nighter, but I was only 15.
That's some task in 28" bellbottoms and 6" soles 😆 bet you had a knitted polo jumper too 😉
@@griffdaz1982 Fairly close. Birmingham bags with three-button waistband and flat shoes.
What a voice, what a tune, LOVE IT!!!!!!
Its Friday !!! For 3 mins I'm in heaven. ❤

Without a doubt my favourite Northern Soul classic
I worked a posh gaff and they had Jersey boys at yhe Christmas party,Quality night.
Number 1 song on our northern soul nights! Back still hurts !!!!
I had the privilege of seeing Frankie Valli and the current line up of the 4 seasons twice in the last 4 years. They came to the BIC in Bournemouth. On one side was an American lady who’d flown just to see them. On the other was a Swedish lady who’d done the same. They didn’t disappoint. Frankie was in his 80’s and hit the hight notes.
Northern Soul CLASSIC
Fu**in' absolutely!

F***in tune !!!
One of the greatest xx
I heard this again today and I'd forgotten how great this song is. Beware of his promise
This takes me back to the days when youth clubs were the place to go. Sad they're no longer around. Outward bound activities, boxing, self defence classes for girls, sports. I'm sure there'd be less violence on the streets. Strange how 1 song can evoke such memories.
You tell kids that we went to Youth Clubs and Discos, and they look gone out at you, yet for our generation they were great ... we went out to enjoy ourselves, to dance, meet people and do activities.
And the beatings because some or different but get what your saying tho
used to go to the twisted wheel, witworth st manchester, or stoke on trent for northern soul nights hear this played at these venues soft drinks only served and no alcohol
@@robbieedward8773 Loads of Dex though .. Happy days. All nighters .. cups of tea in Shude Hill ... Oh well.
You should go to a techno rave. It’s very similar.
Smooth as the very finest silk a treat to the ears
Is there a better bass line in pop music? Fantastic song, arrangement and production.
agreed, there is not:)
My Fave.
Northern soul forever
Great bass line
It's been years scince I last heard this song. My mother always used to play old songs like this one to my brother and me when we were small.
A lot of memories come back listening to this.
Wonderful story. You might also like my solo piano cover of this Northern Soul banger, available on my new RUclips channel called The Piano Mod. Feel free to check it out.
The mix is sublime. Kick, snare, bass tuned and placed succinctly. The tambourine takes up what it needs amd the vocals do the rest.
The Trombone Drum & Bass combo is hypnotising
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ this song northen soul forever❤❤❤❤❤
It has to be one of the top ten songs ever written. Sadly forgotten... Why?
Just started doing Northern Soul dance class and this was one of the songs we practiced our steps to.Its great!
Wonderful story. This song is pure dancing energy. You might also like my solo piano cover of this Northern Soul banger, available on my new RUclips channel called The Piano Mod. Feel free to check it out.

@@yorkiegeoff1825 His rendition is really outstanding!
As someone who is 19, this is in my top 5 favorite songs. Wish I could find another soul song that matches the energy and tone.
21 now too bro 🤦♂️😂 try california soul - Marlena shaw!
