"Somewhere in the Night" is a ballad written by Richard Kerr and lyricist Will Jennings which was a US Top 20 hit for both Helen Reddy and Barry Manilow.

However, "Somewhere in the Night" did not appear on any chart until the Batdorf & Rodney version was issued as a single in October 1975 and reached #69 on the Billboard Hot 100.

"Somewhere in the Night" would also reach #27 in New Zealand in February 1976, affording Reddy her final hit in that territory.

[citation needed] Barry Manilow, whose breakout hit "Mandy" had been written by Scott English and Richard Kerr, and who later reached #1 with the Kerr/Jennings composition "Looks Like We Made It", recorded "Somewhere in the Night" for his 1978 album Even Now.

In December 1978 "Somewhere in the Night" became the fourth track from Even Now to be given single release in the US, reaching #9 on Billboard's Hot 100 in early 1979.
