"Gonna Get Along Without You Now" - Glenn Rivera ReStructure Mix - Viola WillsViola Wills' cover of Teresa Brewer's 1952 recording of "Gonna Get Along Without You Now" is a disco classic. Viola recorded her dance version in 1979 and was produced by Francis Day and Jerry McCabe (who produced most of Viola's early material).
"Gonna Get Along Without You Now" is a swirling and melodic experience with the torch-like vocal of the late Miss Wills guiding it. One of of the big singles from 1979 and a lead for Viola who later took discotheques by storm with her big disco hits, "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Stormy Weather".
This ReStructure Mix takes the 12" from Sugarhill Records and gives an alternative experience using those lovely strings and the bass arrangement a step further!

What a fabulous Restructure - it is sheer class all the way! The strings and bass provide the perfect backdrop for Viola's languid vocal style. Undoubtedly the best mix I've ever heard of this classic song - brilliant work Glenn!! Nick & Lindsay:)
