Till Then (1944 song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Till Then" is a popular song written by Eddie Seiler, Sol Marcus, and Guy Wood and published in 1944.
The song was a plea (presumably by a solder off to fight the war) to his sweetheart to wait for him until he could get back home. Like many war-themed songs, it enjoyed great popularity when it came out in 1944 in music, and versions by The Mills Brothers (which reached #8 on the Billboard chart) and the Les Brown orchestra dominated the charts.
Ten years later, for some reason, the song once more became quite popular. Both a doo wop version by Sonny Til & The Orioles and a traditional pop version by The Hilltoppers (#10 on Billboard) charted that year.
The song has continued to be popular, with versions recorded in later years by such as Sammy Davis Jr. and James Brown. A 1963 version by The Classics reached #20 on the chart.
