Originally recorded by Lenny LeBlanc and then Arthur Alexander in 1976, the song was later a single produced by Ron Haffkine and performed by rock band Dr. Hook from their album Pleasure and Pain.[2] Cash Box called the 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 U.S. and No. 3 in Canada in 1978, and No. 43 in the UK in 1980.
