"Dawn (Go Away)" is a song written by Bob Gaudio and Sandy Linzer and recorded by The Four Seasons in November 1963. The song hit No. 3 in the early part of 1964. According to Billboard, it was the 25th biggest hit single of the year, placing behind "Rag Doll", another Four Seasons hit, which was No. 24.
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 Hot 100 chart to #3 on February 29, 1964, prevented from going higher by The Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You", which turned became the top two singles of 1964. "Dawn" remained at #3 for three weeks, then dropped to make way for two further Beatles singles ("Twist and Shout" and "Please Please Me"). During its six-week run in the Top Ten, only Beatles hits ranked above it in the chart.
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 in fact the stereo Dawn is 2 minutes 30 seconds, and the mono Dawn with the "Pretty as midsummer's morn. They called her Dawn" intro is 2 minutes 45 seconds.

Oh my God! Does this ever take me back to when my Auntie would dance with me to this song and show me all the latest steps when I was about three or four years old!

The Four Seasons were so great! Lucky to have grown up with this music. God bless you

[@sandtalanders156]

Four Seasons, memories. Loved everything they sang!!! 😂special unforgettable group!! Unique voice. ❤ 🎸🎤🎶😘

[@georgejuba7088]

Very nice remix---vocals centered and instruments spread across the stereo field. Wish the whole catalog was remixed this way.

[@BeatlesGirlKaren]

The quality seems to add to the experience for me!

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

I agree.

[@grntchstrmdws]

This is the cleanest upload of this recording I’ve found, the one the artists deserved. (Thank you!)

[@Nestor123057]

This reminds me of their many appearances at Palisades Park.

First Lou, now Frankie. It's a falsetto Sunday and I'm loving it. You're the best, Sammy.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks Larry. I like the falsetto Sunday!

[@nothingbutoldies3369]

Great number from this fantastic band, I love their wonderfully harmonious songs. Many thanks Sammy, have a good start to a great new week! Cheers, E.H.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

It sure is, E.H. They are something special. Have a top Monday. Cheers.

[@AceBG27]

That is one hell of a Pop song.

[@cyndik9921]

So cool!! It's 'funny' how one remembers what age they were when songs came out. The video is really neat, poor quality or not, it's easy to sharpen it up in your mind. Happy Sunday!

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thank you. Yes I agree with you.

It's Tommy Devito from Goodfellas!!

Very good matching the stereo to video Sammy.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks as always Jacob.

[@marcuswalton2922]

Did the Jersey Boys also do this song?

[@charlestaylor2480]

Where was this filmed and do you have any more four seasons videos

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

It may have been in New York, maybe Brooklyn where they've done some videos for Where The Action Is. Here's the most popular one on my channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJucnmxufNKHpLs There are many on this channel.

[@RetroMusicMan369]

Unfortunately the video misrepresents the group. Nick Massi was with the Seasons when they recorded Dawn, not Joe Long.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Yes it's too bad Nick wasn't around for this video. That would have been great. He is on the "Walk Like A Man" clip.

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

I forgot about the other video posted with Nick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5S7omWKpLWnaaM

@@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach BEAUTIFUL! I love seeing the original 4 together. Nice video, what’s it from? Thanks for posting that 👍❤️

[@smurfstoolsoldiesmusictimemach]

Thanks! Wish I knew. It must be from a 60's movie. Here's another video with the original group: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGPbaZmNaN2iqqM @@RetroMusicMan369
