I'm Walking Behind You

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"I'm Walking Behind You" is a popular song written by Billy Reid and published in 1953.

Eddie Fisher's rendition of the song (duet with Sally Sweetland) became a #1 hit on both the Cash Box and Billboard record charts in 1953 in the United States, as well as reaching #1 on the United Kingdom charts. The recording was made on April 7, 1953, and released by RCA Victor Records as catalog number 20-5293.

In the same year, Frank Sinatra released a recording of his own rendition on the album Capitol Collector's Series. This recording, done on April 2, 1953, was also issued as a single by Capitol Records as catalog number 2450.

The original version was probably Dorothy Squires' version, recorded in the United Kingdom, with the orchestra of Billy Reid, the author of the song.

Also, in the United Kingdom, Jimmy Young recorded a version on February 3, 1953, which was released by UK Decca as catalog number F 10080.
