"Sharing the Night Together" is a popular song written by Ava Aldridge and Eddie Struzick. Originally recorded by Lenny LeBlanc and then Arthur Alexander in 1976, the song was later a single produced by Ron Haffkine and performed by American rock band Dr. Hook from their seventh album, Pleasure and Pain (1978). [2] Cash Box called Alexander's version "a languorous ballad plaintive, that should strike deep in the hearts of R&B, pop and MOR listeners" and praised Alexander's "powerful voice" and how he "sings this love song with special emotion." [3] "Sharing the Night Together" also appeared on most of Dr. Hook's following albums including Greatest Hits and Greatest Hits (and More) . [4] It reached No. 6 in the US and No. 3 in Canada in 1978, and No. 43 in the UK in 1980.
