"I'll Never Find Another You" is a 1964 single by the Australian folk-influenced pop group the Seekers. It reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom in February 1965.[3] It was The Seekers' first UK-released single, [3] and the second most-popular of 1965 in the UK.[4] 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.[5] The B-Side was the gospel song, "Open Up The Pearly Gates."
The track was written and produced by Tom Springfield,[3] who was also responsible for most of the Seekers' subsequent hits.[6]
It experienced a 1967 US revival as a country music No. 1 by Sonny James.[7]
In July 2018, the tune was featured in a Westpac bank TV advertisement in Australia, covered by Julia Jacklin.[8]
The song was added to the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia's Sounds of Australia registry in 2011.[9]
