I'll Never Find Another You is a UK #1 single by The Seekers.[1] It was The Seekers' first UK-released single,[2] and was the best selling single of 1965 in the UK.[3] The song was also highly popular in the US, reaching peaks of #4 pop and #2 easy listening in Billboard magazine surveys.
The track was written and produced by Tom Springfield who was also responsible for most of the band's subsequent hits. The tune received a 1967 US revival as a country music #1 by Sonny James. In 2006, it received yet another revival with a brisk folk rock cover from guitarist Les Fradkin on his CD "Jangleholic". In 2010, the song was performed at a benefit for the homeless youth organization Teen Feed by Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard and his wife, singer/actress Zooey Deschanel.[4]
The song was added to the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Sounds of Australia registry in 2011.[5]
