I'd Never Find Another You

In December 1961, English singer Billy Fury released a cover of the song as a single. It peaked at number 5 on the Record Retailer Top 50 in January 1962 and received a silver disc for 250,000 sales.^[3][4]

Fury had previously covered an Orlando song, also written by Goffin and King, "Halfway to Paradise", which was also a top-five hit.^[3] "I'd Never Find Another You" was Fury's final single of 1961, released for Christmas. The B-side, "Sleepless Nights", was written by Buck Ram and had been released by former Platters lead singer Tony Williams as a single in August 1961.^[5] Both sides are backed by an orchestra directed by Ivor Raymonde.

Reviewing for Disc, Don Nicholl described "I'd Never Find Another You" as "a rather graceful ballad with a beat in it, the song is sung simply and warmly by Fury to a catchy accompaniment".^[1] Reviewed in New Musical Express, it was described as a "medium-pace rock-cum-Latin beat [that] runs behind the most attractive melody".^[6] Fury was also praised for his "versatility of tackling anything from out-and-out rock'n'roll to sentimental ballads [which] has really come to the fore this year and he's now a mature, dependable artist".^[7]
