"No One" is a song originally recorded by American singer and actress Connie Francis in 1960. It was released by MGM Records as the B-side of her bigger hit, "Where the Boys Are", but charted separately. The song reached number 34 on the US Billboard Hot 100 during the winter of 1961.[2]
The most successful version of "No One" was recorded by American singer, songwriter, and pianist Ray Charles in 1963. His version was released in June 1963 by ABC-Paramount and peaked at number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100[2] and became a Top 10 R&B and AC hit. It also charted in the United Kingdom, reaching number 35.[3]
In 1965, American singer Brenda Lee covered "No One", with chorus and orchestra directed by Owen Bradley. It was released in May 1965 by Decca Records as an A-side, however, it was backed with "Too Many Rivers", which became the bigger hit (number 13).[1] Her rendition reached only number 98 on the US Billboard Hot 100.[2] Nevertheless, it also reached #25 on the US Billboard Easy Listening chart, and was the only version of the song to chart in Canada, where it became a Top 40 hit (number 36).[4]
