"Somewhere In The Night" is also the title of a popular ballad written by Richard Kerr and Will Jennings. The song charted for the duo of Batdorf & Rodney in 1975 and was a Top 20 hit for Helen Reddy that same year, but the best-known and most familiar version of the song for most listeners is Barry Manilow's version, which reached the U.S. Top Ten in early 1979. There was also a song called "Somewhere In The Night" performed by actor Scott Bakula on the TV show "Quantum Leap". The song has nothing to do with the movie.
