The Ultimate Guide to 'Fall in Love Again' Songs: Lyrics, Singers, and Trivia
By Robert Thorne
Compounding the catalog tangle, British skiffle pioneer Lonnie Donegan cowrote a completely different composition bearing the exact same title in 1962 with Jimmy Currie. Donegan recorded it as a brooding, blues-inflected track, but the song found its true global vehicle five years later in the powerful vibrato of Welsh singer Tom Jones.
Recorded in 1967, Jones’s version of "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" is pure theatrical melodrama. Where the Bacharach-David tune is breezy and analytical, the Donegan-Currie piece is heavy, slow, and steeped in gospel-tinged soul. Jones wrings every drop of pathos from the chorus: "I'll never fall in love again / By God, I'm never gonna fall in love again." Elvis Presley famously covered the song during his 1976 Jungle Room sessions at Graceland, further cementing this particular version in the American roots canon.
