"I'll Get By (As Long as I Have You)" is a popular song with
music by Fred E. Ahlert and lyrics by Roy Turk. It was
published in 1928. The song was revived to even greater success
in 1944, when the 1940 recording by Harry James (Dick Haymes
vocal) was re-released (Billboard #1). The Ink Spots version
was also popular in 1944, reaching the retail top ten.
Later covers include: UK singer, Maureen Evans in 1958; Jack
Jones for his 1965 album
Dear Heartand Sun Ra in 1973 and 1977 in his posthumous
album "Some Blues But Not The Kind Thats Blue".
This song was interpreted by Marilyn Monroe during one of
her lessons in the Actors'studio. She made the audience cry. A
proof that she really was a good actress.
This song is not to be confused with "I'll Get By," the 1992
hit ballad by Eddie Money.
