I Get Along Without You Very Well (Except Sometimes)
"I Get Along Without You Very Well" is a popular song composed by Hoagy Carmichael in 1939, with lyrics based on a poem written by Jane Brown Thompson[1]. Thompson's identity as the author of the poem was for many years unknown, she died the night before it was introduced on radio by Dick Powell.[1]
The biggest-selling hit version was a 1939 version by Red Norvo and his orchestra, with a vocal by Terry Allen[2]
It was performed by Carmichael and Jane Russell in the film The Las Vegas Story (1952).[1]
