title: You Don't Have to Say You Love Me text: You Don't Have to Say You Love Me "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" (originally a 1965 Italian song by Pino Donaggio and lyricist Vito Pallavicini: '"Io che non vivo (senza te)") is a 1966 hit recorded by English singer Dusty Springfield that proved to be her most successful hit single, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart and number four on the "Billboard" Hot 100; the song subsequently charted in the UK via remakes by Elvis Presley (No. 9/1971), Guys 'n' Dolls (No. 5/1976) and Denise Welch (No. 23/1995), with Presley's version, released in 1970, also title: Dusty Springfield text: music singer Jody Miller. Its English version, "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," featured lyrics newly written by Springfield's friend Vicki Wickham and her future manager, Simon Napier-Bell. It was released in March 1966 and reached No. 1 in April 1966 the UK and No. 4 in the US, where it was also No. 35 on the "Billboard" Top 100 for 1966. The song, which Springfield called "good old schmaltz," was voted among the All Time Top 100 Songs by the listeners of BBC Radio 2 in 1999. Springfield introduced the Motown sound to a wider UK audience, title: You Don't Have to Say You Love Me text: but allowed a year to go by before actively pursuing the idea of recording an English version. On 9 March 1966, Springfield had an instrumental track of Donaggio's composition recorded at Philips Studio Marble Arch: the session personnel included guitarist Big Jim Sullivan and drummer Bobby Graham. Springfield still lacked an English lyric to record: eventually Springfield's friend Vicki Wickham, the producer of "Ready Steady Go!", would write the required English lyric with her own friend Simon Napier-Bell who was the manager of the Yardbirds. Neither Wickham nor Napier-Bell had any discernible experience as songwriters: according to Napier-Bell, he and title: You Don't Have to Say You Love Me text: a slightly different track listing, and titled after the hit single (the B side of the US single, "Little by Little" was issued in the UK as a separate A side and reached No.17 there). In 2004, the song made the "Rolling Stone" list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time at No.491. "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" was recorded by Elvis Presley for his 1970 album release "That's the Way It Is" from which it was issued as the second single 6 October 1970. The track had been recorded in the evening of 6 June title: You Don't Have to Say You Love Me text: reaching No. 11 in the United States. "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me" was also a Top Ten hit in Ireland for Red Hurley (No. 5/1978), in Italy for Wall Street Crash (No. 6/1983), and - as "En koskaan" - in Finland for Kristina Hautala (No. 6/1966). "Io che non vivo (senza te)" — "I, who can't live (without you)" — was introduced at the 15th edition of the Sanremo Festival by Pino Donaggio — who had co-written the song with Vito Pallavicini — and his team partner Jody Miller: the song got to the final at Sanremo
