<P> Patience and Prudence had more success with the song when they recorded it in 1956 reaching #11 on the charts . This is considered the benchmark version, by which all others are judged, due to the intimate harmony of the two young singers . This version brightened the melody somewhat, and later artists followed the brighter version, as did Brewer when she recorded an album version in 1964 in a semi-Caribbean style . </P> <P> Two other versions hit the US chart in 1964 as sung by Tracey Dey (peaking at #51) and Skeeter Davis (peaking at #48). </P> <P> Dey's version was done in a style emulating the Wall of Sound, which was popular with girl groups at the time . </P> <P> Davis' version reached the Top 10 on Country charts, and is considered by oldies enthusiasts to be "the" cover version . 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 . </P>

Who sang gonna get along without you
