"I'll Never Find Another You" is a 1964 single by The Seekers, which reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom in February 1965.[1] It was The Seekers' first UK-released single,[1] and it was the second-best-selling of 1965 in the UK.[2] The song was also popular in the United States, 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.
It received a 1967 US revival as a country music No. 1 by Sonny James.[4]
In July 2018, the tune 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]
