"Where or When" is a song that was written by Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart for the 1937 Broadway musical Babes In Arms. It was first performed by Ray Heatherton and Mitzi Green. That same year, Hal Kemp recorded a popular version. It also appeared in the movie of the same title two years later. Then, Dion and the Belmonts also released a successful remake of the song, and made it a number three hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in January, 1960.
In 1963, The Lettermen released their version as a single. It became a minor hit for them on the Hot 100.
