Background

"Lovin' the Night Away" was written by Steve Seamans and Patrick Frederick and recorded by The Dillman Band. Backed with Steve Seamans' composition, "C.O.D.", it was released on RCA PB-12206 in April 1981.[1]

This single should not be confused with the song of the same name by female country singer, Noel Haughey who had a minor US Country hit with her composition later that year.[2][3][4]
