"Till" is a popular song with music by Charles Danvers and English lyrics by Carl Sigman.[1] In 1956, French Algerian composer Charles Danvers (1910–1986) was heard performing the song in a Parisian cabaret by two Americans.[2] It was released in the U.S. in January 1957 by Percy Faith.[3] It was derived from the French song "Prière Sans Espoir",[1] released in 1956 by Lucien Lupi on the EP L'Amour Viendra[4] with original French lyrics written by Pierre Benoit Buisson.[4][5] Italian singer Caterina Valente released a version in 1960 with lyrics by Gaiano.[6] In 1965, Danvers immigrated to East Islip, New York, where he continued writing music, which was performed by singers such as Jerry Vale, Tony Bennett, and Dinah Shore.[2]
