abstract
  • %22Without a Song%22 is a popular song with music by Vincent Youmans and lyrics by Billy Rose and Edward Eliscu, published in 1929. It was included in the musical play, Great Day.%22Without a Song%22 was recorded twice by Perry Como: the first time on January 11, 1951 and the second time in June 1970 at a live performance at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada.

It was also included in a 1957 album, Dream Along With Me (RCA Camden catalog number CAL-403). The 1970 recording was issued on albums by RCA and its United Kingdom, Netherlands, and Japan subsidiaries, but not as a single.Lawrence Tibbett, Nelson Eddy and Frank Sinatra recorded versions of the song with what appears to be the original lyrics, including the line, %22A darkie's born, but he's no good no how, without a song.%22 In subsequent recordings, Sinatra didn't use the term %22darkie%22, and later recorded versions included the altered text %22a man is born, but he's no good no how, without a song.%22In addition to popular artists like Perry Como, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Neil Sedaka, and opera singers like Jan Peerce and Mario Lanza, many African-American artists of varying styles also successfully recorded the song. These include a version in %22gospel style%22 by Mahalia Jackson in concert in Berlin, 1967, as well the Billy Eckstine album No Cover, No Minimum; also versions by George Benson, The Ravens, The Isley Brothers, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes (for their album I Hear A Symphony), and jazz singer Jimmy Scott on his 2006 album Milestone Profiles - Jimmy Scott on Milestone Records. Instrumental versions have been recorded by Sonny Rollins, on his 1962 %22comeback%22 album, The Bridge, Stanley Turrentine on his album Never Let Me Go (Blue Note 90838), Clare Fischer on Surging Ahead (Pacific Jazz PJ 67), and Bill Evans on You Must Believe in Spring (reissued on Rhino Records).
