I'll Never Stop Loving You (1955 song)
"I'll Never Stop Loving You" is a popular music song, with music written by Nicholas Brodzsky and lyrics by Sammy Cahn for the 1955 film Love Me or Leave Me. The song was published in 1955.[1]
The recording by Doris Day was released by Columbia Records as catalog number 40505.[2] It first reached the Billboard magazine charts on July 23, 1955. On the Disk Jockey chart, it peaked at #13; on the Best Seller chart, at #15; on the composite chart of the top 100 songs, it reached #93 (a misleading figure, because the top-100 list was started by Billboard after the peak of the song's popularity).[3]
The song was nominated for the 1955 Academy Award for Best Original Song but lost to "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing" from the film of the same name.
