A minor pop hit at the very end of disco's reign on the charts. 'Gonna get along without you now', something of a gay anthem, was not a Billboard Pop hit, but a dance chart success, and found its place in pop history by making the U.K Top 10 and the Australian Top 40. The song entered the  charts here in March of 1980 and spent 5 months there, but went no higher than #37 nationally. Several remixes and re-records have proved popular the world over. The 1979 recorded disco track was a cover of a 1951 swing composition but has also been recorded by country, funk and pop artists in the decades since. 

Viola Wills continued to be in demand for disco covers and recordings right up until her death in 2009. This is probably her signature tune. This is the longer, LP version posted here.
