'Till You're Gone → 'Til You're Gone – or Till You're Gone. The article cites four sources. Three of them (all four are from Billboard, unfortunately) are online sources, and none of those use a double L. The track listing for the album on AllMusic uses a double L, but it doesn't have the apostrophe. AllMusic seems to have song entries for both 'Til You're Gone and Till You're Gone, but not 'Till You're Gone. Including both an apostrophe and a double L seems strange. — BarrelProof (talk) 22:52, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support move to Till You're Gone. This song can't seem to make up its mind what it's actually called. One pressing of the 45 uses "'Til", another uses "'Till" (which is also how it's listed in the Joel Whitburn book). It's listed as "'Til" in back issues of Billboard when it was on the charts. Licensed uploads (iTunes, CD Baby, YouTube, etc.) use "Till". However, to me, the clincher is that it's officially listed as "Till You're Gone" on ASCAP. This, combined with contemporary usage of "Till", would suggest that's the official spelling or at least the most commonly used one. However, I think there's also enough usage of "'Til" to warrant that spelling as a redirect.
