"I'll Never Find Another You" is a 1964 single by The Seekers which reached No. 1 in the UK in February 1965.[1] It was The Seekers' first UK-released single,[1] and was the second-best selling single of 1965 in the UK.[2] The song was also popular in the US, reaching peaks of No. 4 pop and No. 2 easy listening on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.[3]
The track was written and produced by Tom Springfield,[1] who was also responsible for most of The Seekers' subsequent hits.
The tune received a 1967 US revival as a country music No. 1 by Sonny James.[4] In 2006, it received yet another revival with a folk rock cover from guitarist Les Fradkin on his CD Jangleholic.
In July 2018, the song was featured in a Westpac bank TV advertisement in Australia, covered by Julia Jacklin.[5]
The song was added to the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Sounds of Australia registry in 2011.[6]
