The Viscounts were a British pop group from London. Its members had formerly been part of a TV ensemble called Morton Fraser's Harmonica Gang. They quit the group and formed The Viscounts in Late April 1958, playing local shows and eventually attracting the attention of manager Larry Parnes. He got them billed to better venues and signed them to Pye Records in 1960.
Their cover version of Ray Smith's hit single "Rockin' Little Angel" became a hit in Australia, and their cover of "Shortnin' Bread" hit number 16 in November that year in the UK Singles Chart.[1] In addition to recording rock/pop numbers, they also did some trad jazz, covering Paul Whiteman for a compilation album. In 1961 their single cover version of "Who Put the Bomp (In the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" reached number 21 in the UK chart, spending ten weeks in the listings.[2] The group toured with Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, as well as sharing a stage with The Beatles in 1963 opening for Chris Montez. In 1964, they moved to Columbia Records, but none of their three following singles charted.
Bandmember Gordon Mills' success as a songwriter soon convinced him to move on, and the group broke up in 1965; soon after, Mills wrote "It's Not Unusual" for Tom Jones. Don Paul became a record producer, and Ronnie Wells went into the restaurant business. Wells died in 2013. Their complete recorded output on Pye Records was reissued on CD in 2001 on Castle Records.

I'll Never Get Over You
The Viscounts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret anymore
No, no, no
It wasn't so long ago
That you told me you love me so
Then you went and said goodbye
I, i, i, i
I know somewhere
Someday, I'll find
One love to take your place
One girl with an angel face
But in the meantime, I'll never get over you
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret anymore
Oh no, no
I know somewhere
Someday, I'll find
One love to take your place
One girl with an angel face
But in the meantime, I'll never get over you
No, I'll never get over you
I just can't keep it a secret anymore
Oh no, no more, oh no, no more
The lyrics to The Viscounts' song "I'll Never Get Over You" tell the story of heartbreak and the struggles of moving on from someone you truly loved. The opening lines, "I'll never get over you, no, I'll never get over you, I just can't keep it a secret anymore," sets the tone of the song and establishes that the singer is struggling to let go of their past love. The chorus repeats this sentiment - that the singer will never truly be over this person.
The second verse references the fact that "it wasn't so long ago" that the person being sung to professed their love, only to break the singer's heart by finding someone new. This verse highlights the pain and confusion that comes with a sudden breakup, leaving the singer unsure of what happened and how to move on. Despite this confusion, the singer acknowledges that they will eventually find love again - "I know somewhere, someday, I'll find one love to take your place, one girl with an angel face."
Overall, "I'll Never Get Over You" is a classic and relatable song that captures the heartbreaking feeling of losing someone you love. The repetitive chorus and simple yet emotional lyrics make this song a hit that has stood the test of time.
