It was later covered by the English band The Tremeloes, whose recording was a #1 hit in the UK Singles Chart. Guitarist Rick West sang lead vocal on "Silence Is Golden", although the prominent voice is Len Hawkes falsetto which mimics the parts sung in the original by Frankie Valli. The Tremeloes single hit No. 11 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart on the Epic label and was one of the top 100 songs of 1967. The track sold one million copies globally, earning gold disc status. The song was also covered by Swedish singer Jim Jidhed in 1989.
