Track DescriptionAvailable in:
"Since I Don't Have You" is a song by the doo-wop group The Skyliners, from their self-titled album. Released in late 1958, the single reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100; it was also a top five hit on the 1959 R&B chart. Highlighted by Jimmy Beaumont's lead singer powerful vocals, and the counterpoint between his falsetto and Janet Vogel's soprano, on her final chorus, the song is considered by many, including oldies fans, one of the best "heartbreak" ballads ever recorded; it is a classic of pre-Beatles rock and roll. As a testament to its longevity, it is frequently played on the radio; the song was featured in the films American Graffiti, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Lethal Weapon 2, and Mischief, and television shows such as Happy Days.
This song was covered by the rock band Guns N' Roses on their album, The Spaghetti Incident? This was Guns N' Roses 18th single release overall, and the third single lifted from The Spaghetti Incident?. The single was released in mid-1994. It reached #69 on the Hot 100 and was a top 10 hit in the UK. The music video featured actor Gary Oldman – then a popular casting choice for Hollywood villains – as a smiling demon who is constantly mocking singer Axl Rose. The video was the last to feature original members Duff McKagan and Slash, as well as drummer Matt Sorum and rhythm guitarist Gilby Clarke.
