1) Nancy Sue Wilson (born February 20, 1937, in Chillicothe, OH, United States – December 13, 2018, in Pioneertown, CA, United States) was a jazz diva famous for recording American standards in the 60s.

She was among contemporary music's most stylish and sultry vocalists; while often crossing over into the pop and R&B markets -- and even hosting her own television variety program -- she remained best known as a jazz performer, renowned for her work alongside figures including Cannonball Adderley and George Shearing. Wilson first attracted notice performing the club circuit in nearby Columbus; she quickly earned a growing reputation among jazz players and fans, and she was recording regularly by the late '50s, eventually signing to Capitol and issuing LPs including 1959's Like in Love and Nancy Wilson with Billy May's Orchestra. Her dates with Shearing, including 1960's The Swingin's Mutual, solidified her standing as a talent on the rise, and her subsequent work with Adderley -- arguably her finest recordings -- further cemented her growing fame and reputation.

In the years to follow, however, Wilson often moved away from jazz, much to the chagrin of purists; she made numerous albums, many of them properly categorized as pop and R&B outings, and toured extensively, appearing with everyone from Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughan to Ruth Brown and LaVern Baker. She even hosted her own Emmy-winning variety series for NBC, The Nancy Wilson Show, and was a frequent guest performer on other programs; hits of the period included "Tell Me the Truth," "How Glad I Am," "Peace of Mind," and "Now, I'm a Woman." Regardless of how far afield she traveled, Wilson always maintained her connections to the jazz world, and in the 1980s, she returned to the music with a vengeance, working closely with performers including Hank Jones, Art Farmer, Ramsey Lewis, and Benny Golson. By the 1990s, she was a favorite among the "new adult contemporary" market, her style ideally suited to the format's penchant for lush, romantic ballads; she also hosted the Jazz Profiles series on National Public Radio.

In the early 2000s, Wilson recorded two albums with Ramsey Lewis for Narada (2002's Meant to Be and 2003's Simple Pleasures). Her 2004 album R.S.V.P. (Rare Songs, Very Personal) was a blend of straight-ahead jazz and ballads, similar to her next record, 2006's Turned to Blue, which, like R.S.V.P., used a different instrumentalist for each track. In 2005, Capitol released a three-part series to pay tribute to Wilson's contributions to music in the '50s and '60s: Guess Who I Saw Today: Nancy Wilson Sings Songs of Lost Love, Save Your Love for Me: Nancy Wilson Sings the Great Blues Ballads, and The Great American Songbook.

Wilson died from a long-illness on December 13, 2018 at her home in Pioneertown, California at the age of 81.

2) Nancy Lamoureux Wilson (born March 16, 1954, San Francisco, CA, United States), more popularly known as Nancy Wilson, is an American singer, guitarist and songwriter. Along with her older sister Ann Wilson, she is part of the Seattle/Vancouver rock band Heart. She is married to film director and screenwriter Cameron Crowe and has composed and performed music for most of Crowe's movies, including Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Vanilla Sky, and Elizabethtown.

While Ann is the lead singer on most of the Heart recordings, Nancy is the lead vocalist on Treat Me Well, These Dreams, Stranded, There's the Girl and Will You Be There (In The Morning), and frequently performs background vocals. She is also the band's rhythm and lead guitarist. In 1999, she released a live solo album, Live at McCabe's Guitar Shop.

There Will Never Be Another You
Nancy Wilson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There will be
Many other nights
Like this
And I'll be
Standing here
With someone new
There will be
Other songs to sing

Another fall
Another spring
But there
Will never be
Another you

There will be
Other lips
That I may kiss
But they
Won't thrill me
Like yours used to do
Yes
I may dream
A million dreams
But how
Can they come true
If there
Will never ever
Be another you?

There will be
Many other
Nigths like this
And I'll be
Standing here
With someone new
There will be
Other songs to sing
Another fall
Another spring
But there
Will never be
Another you

There will be
Other lips
That I may kiss
But they
Won't thrill me
Like yours used to do
Yes
I may dream
A million dreams
But how
Can they come true

If there will never
Ever be another you?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nancy Wilson's "There Will Never Be Another You" convey a sense of nostalgia and longing. The singer acknowledges the inevitability of change and the passing of time, recognizing that there will be other nights, other songs, and other lovers. Yet despite these acknowledgements, the singer still yearns for the one who has already slipped away. The line "There will never be another you" is repeated throughout the song, serving as both a statement of fact and a lament. It is clear that the singer believes that while there may be other things in life, there will never be another person who can compare to the one who has been lost.

The second verse further elaborates on this theme, with the singer admitting that other lips may come into her life, but they will never hold the same thrill and excitement as those of her former lover. She acknowledges that she may dream big dreams, but they will never come true because the person that inspired those dreams is gone forever. The repeating refrain throughout the song serves as a poignant reminder of what has been lost, and the singer's sadness is palpable.

Overall, Nancy Wilson's "There Will Never Be Another You" is a beautifully melancholic song about loss, nostalgia, and the passage of time. It speaks to the universal experience of change and the bittersweet nature of remembering what once was.
