"No One Will Ever Know" is a song written by Fred Rose and Mel Forre. It was originally associated with country icon Hank Williams when it was issued as a posthumous single in 1957.

Background

[edit]

Rose originally recorded the song with his String Band in 1945 for Columbia Records. Roy Acuff and The Smoky Mountain Boys were the first to release this song in August 1945. Williams recorded his version alone with his guitar while working in Shreveport in 1948 or 1949.[1] By 1957, MGM Records was still releasing singles on the late country singer, including demos, radio performances, and tracks featuring overdubbed instruments, and while some became hits, though several, such as his duets with Audrey Williams, were of dubious quality.
