1975 Frankie Valli – Our Day Will Come (US:#11)
“Our Day Will Come” is a song composed by Mort Garson with lyrics by Bob Hilliard. It was recorded by American R&B group Ruby & the Romantics in early December 1962, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
American singer Frankie Valli recorded and released “Our Day Will Come” in 1975. His rendition features Patti Austin on accompanying vocals. Cash Box said that “minimum use of strings on top as the artist’s cutting sound and super-fine alto sax provides that icing that balances out the broad bottom indigenous to disco dance depots.”
Valli’s version reached #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and spent two weeks at #2 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Internationally, it also reached the #30 in Canada.

That’s interesting to see Frankie Valli’s version – I always thought the Ruby & the Romantics version was the more iconic track.
