It's You or No One
Jule Styne & Sammy Cahn • 1948
A bright, bouncy number from the 1948 film Romance on the High Seas — the same film that introduced “It’s Magic” and launched Doris Day’s career. Where “It’s Magic” was wistful and romantic, this one is pure exuberant confidence, Day’s delivery fizzing with the joy of new love.
Bobby Darin’s recording, cut in 1960 but shelved until 1963 as Atco struggled to categorize him, shows the song’s staying power — his urbane, swinging take a world away from the film original but equally assured.
