On KFXM the song never made the Top 40, but was only listed as a Personal Pick of Bill Surrey. On K/MEN it got up to #28 it's second week on the chart, then fell off. It wasn't much of a hit. So I thought.
I recently checked on the Billboard Charts, and it got up to #10! That was big surprise to me. This was the opposite of a lot of hits on the K/MEN and KFXM charts. Usually it seemed a lot of songs did better locally than nationally, with some of the top ten hits at least getting close to the top ten.
Anyone know of any other national hits not making it locally? Maybe I'll do some research and see what else didn't make it.

TELL IT TO THE RAIN is one
of my favorites. I remember
it well on KFXM but didn't last
long. One of those strange things
that did well nationally but not
a local hit. Still, I always
liked this song beginning to
end. Play it again and again.
I'll always like it.
One reason it may not have clicked...it was not a "Crewe/Gaudio" composition...it broke the "formula" sound. In the OFF SEASONS CD there are Crewe/Gaudio compositions that SHOULD HAVE been hit singles, but weren't. The Four Seasons should have stuck to the formula every time. I think the public liked that sound. I know that I DID.
