"Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now" is a popular song written by bandleader and occasional songwriter Milton Kellem[1] The first known recorded version was released in 1951 by Roy Hogsed.[2] Since then it has been done in several styles and tempos.
Teresa Brewer recording
The version recorded by Teresa Brewer with orchestra directed by Ray Bloch on January 10, 1952, was released by Coral Records as catalog number 60676 on April 5, 1952.[1] It reached number 25 on the Billboard charts.[1] It was done in a "Swing" style, with big band backing (including mouth harp). Brewer later recorded an album version in 1964, which was done in a semi-Caribbean style.
Patience and Prudence recording
Patience and Prudence had more success with the song when they recorded it in 1956, reaching number 11 on the chart.[3] This has come to be considered the benchmark version of the song due to the intimate harmony of the two young singing sisters. Their version brightened the melody somewhat, and later artists, like Teresa Brewer in her aforementioned second recording of the song, followed the brighter version.
Other cover versions
The song has also been recorded by:
- The Bell Sisters in 1956, using the alternate title "Boom Boom, My Honey" on the Bermuda Records label, with a simple, slightly Calypso arrangement and Jamaican accents.
- Chet Atkins on his 1968 LP Solo Flights.
- In 1964, Skeeter Davis, went to #48 on the Hot 100.[4] Davis's version reached the Top 10 on Country charts, peaking at #8,[5] and was included on her Let Me Get Close to You LP.[6] It is considered by oldies enthusiasts to be "the" cover version.Шаблон:Citation needed Where the Patience and Prudence version has an orchestral backing, the Davis version has a pop band backing of electronic organ, bass and drums, with violin and backup singers.
