"I Won't Last a Day Without You" is a song composed by Paul Williams and Roger Nichols. Williams released his version as a single in 1973, but garnered only minor success. Maureen McGovern recorded the song and also released it as a single in 1973 (it was included on her album "The Morning After"), with results similar to those of Williams. It became a hit single for The Carpenters in 1974, reaching #11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and #1 on the adult contemporary chart. This became the Carpenters' ninth #1 on the adult contemporary chart, which was known as "Easy Listening" at the time.
In 1972, Richard Carpenter had learned of a new song from his partners, Paul Williams and Roger Nichols (composers of the famous Carpenters singles "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays"), and he put it on their "A Song for You" album. Shortly after, Diana Ross heard it and put it on her album "Touch Me in the Morning" the following year. Mel Torme also sang a classic version of the song, culminating in holding one of the longest last notes in showbiz history!
