'Till There Was You - Beatles, The / Anita Bryant (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
'Till There Was You (Beatles, The, 1964; Anita Bryant, 1959; Eileen Wilson, 1950). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2024-05-14. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"
"'Till There Was You," written by Meredith Willson, was first recorded by Willson & his Orchestra with Eileen Wilson providing the vocals back in 1950; although the original title was "Till I Met You" (archive.org, 2021). Later, in 1957, Willson changed the title to "'Till There Was You" and included the song in his play "The Music Man" (songfacts.com, 2021). In 1959, Anita Bryant's version of the song was the only recording to hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart landing at the #30 position (Whitburn, 2013). The Beatles released their version of the song on their second UK album "With the Beatles" in 1963 and in 1964 on their first US album "Meet the Beatles!" (Whitburn, 2006; Wikipedia, 2021). The Beatles introduced the song to the young US audience on the Ed Sullivan Show on February 9, 1964 as the second of five songs they performed (setlist.fm, 2021). In 1962, The Beatles recorded the song onto a 10-inch acetate with "Hello Little Girl" on the flip side. The disc was found in Les Maguire's attic (keyboardist for Gerry & the Pacemakers). Because of it's rarity, in 2016, the disc sold at Warrington auction house for £77,500 [$97,715.00] (M. Bonner, uncut.co.uk, Mar. 23, 2016).

Lyrics:
There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
'Til there was you
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
'Til there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
'Til there was you
Then there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me in sweet fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No, I never heard it at all
'Til there was you
'Til there was you
