"Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now" is a popular song written by bandleader and occasional songwriter Milton Kellem The first known recorded version was released in 1951 by Roy Hogsed. 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. It reached number 25 on the Billboard charts. 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. 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 these artists: Camden 1964 album 'Music For Dancing' - big band dance arrangement.
