I'd Never Find Another You
"I'd Never Find Another You" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and first released by American singer Tony Orlando on his album Bless You and 11 Other Great Hits in September 1961. Billy Fury version 
In December 1961, English singer Billy Fury released a cover of the song as a single. It peaked at number 5 on the Record Retailer Top 50 in January 1962 and received a silver disc for 250,000 sales. Release and reception 
Fury had previously covered an Orlando song, also written by Goffin and King, "Halfway to Paradise", which was also a top-five hit. "I'd Never Find Another You" was Fury's final single of 1961, released for Christmas. The B-side, "Sleepless Nights", was written by Buck Ram and had been released by former Platters lead singer Tony Williams as a single in August 1961. Both sides are backed by an orchestra directed by Ivor Raymonde. Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl described "I'd Never Find Another You" as "a rather graceful ballad with a beat in it, the song is sung simply and warmly by Fury to a catchy accompaniment". Reviewed in New Musical Express, it was described as a "medium-pace rock-cum-Latin beat [that] runs behind the most attractive melody". Fury was also praised for his "versatility of tackling anything from out-and-out rock'n'roll to sentimental ballads [which] has really come to the fore this year and he's now a mature, dependable artist".
