I'll Never Smile Again is a 1939 song written by Ruth Lowe. It was first recorded and released in 1940 by Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle on vocals. The best known recording is Tommy Dorsey and His Orchestra with Frank Sinatra and the Pied Pipers, issued as a Victor single on June 7, 1940, and it topped Billboard for 12 weeks, becoming the first chart-topping hit on the magazine's National List of Best Selling Retail Records. The tune has since become a jazz and pop standard and has been covered by many artists, including The Platters on their 1961 album Remember When? The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1982 and is celebrated for its wartime heartbreak and enduring melody.
