"There's No Tomorrow"
(the first English Lyric Version of 'O Sole Mio')

ELVIS RECORDED a Home Version of
THERE'S NO TOMORROW in April 1959 in Bad Nauheim, GERMANY
(before the new Lyrics for IT'S NOW OR NEVER took place)

"There's No Tomorrow", written by Al Hoffman, Leo Corday, and Leon Carr,
is one of two popular songs based on the Italian song "O Sole Mio" [music by Eduardo di Capua].
(The other was "It's Now or Never", popularized by Elvis Presley.)

The biggest hit version of the song was recorded by Tony Martin which charted in 1950.

The recording was released by RCA Victor Records as a 78rpm record (catalog number 20-3582)
and a 45rpm record (catalog number 47-3078).

The record first reached the Billboard magazine charts on November 4, 1949
and lasted 27 weeks on the chart, peaking at #2.
