- Viola Mae Wilkerson (December 30, 1939 - May 6, 2009) was an American pop singer, best known for the 1979 UK Singles Chart number 8 hit and US U.S. Hot Dance Club Play number 52 hit, "Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now". Other hits included further covers of the songs, "Both Sides Now" (number 35 UK) (1986), and "If You Could Read My Mind" (number 2 U.S. Hot Dance Club Play) (1980).
Wills' first major break into the mainstream came in 1979 with her cover version of "Gonna Get Along Without Ya Now" (the song's release date was May 14, 1979) which started a string of dance hits. All three of the songs landed Wills in the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles. In 1982, her cover of "Stormy Weather" peaked at number 4 in the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart. Later in 1983, the newly formed record label RVA (Robert Viola Ashmun), released a number of songs, including "Wall", "Space" and "If These Walls Could Speak".

Oh God, I miss the old days. If only we'd a time machine. To go back and relive, the good all times.❤
This is from 1980, I'm from 1999 and I call this High Quality Music! 🤩🕺🎶
Definitely this music from the 70's will never stop being heard. Hallelujah for that!!!!!!!
Music 1980
I was working for Ariola records when this came out and the whole label and Artists went on a music convention for the weekend, i still have a photo of myself and Viola dancing, she was lovely.
you bring the photo please of here
Wow what a privilege!
😍🙏
Still a great song after almost 50 years.
Thankyou for the song Viola...RIP sweetheart
❤
❤❤❤
there are melodies that never die out. She is definitely one of them
Is she a melodie??
😊
Always loved this song when it was on the radio. Contrary to relationship message in the lyrics, the feelings evoked by the melody always felt upbeat & uplifting to me. They never played it enough for me at the time, and then it was gone from the airwaves. Comprehending that was over 40 years ago, lovely to hear it again which now evokes...where did those years go?!!
So true. Our youth 40 years ago. Miss it from time to time.
There was so many proper musicians then that they didn’t have to play 20 times per day to fill the airwaves. Talents sparser than Homer Simpson’s hair.
In south América was a big hit
Never heard this song before and I know a lot of disco songs.
@@vincentruvo6988 It wasn't originally a disco song, written in 1952.
I don't get any better, how I wish I could zoom back. RIP, lovely lady. xx
The happiest break-up song ever 🎉😂❤
Along with David Ruffin's "Walk away from love".
God help meeeee....I love this freaking music. Take me back please just for one more night of disco. This is pure music and nothing but happiness and getting along. A time long gone, you just had to be there to truly understand and experience the sheer joy of the Era and the dance floor....
One of the most iconic songs of Disco Music.
Great decade great music..
Time machine please ❤️❤️
R. I. P. VIOLA AND THANK YOU X
Wauuuuu. Un temon .del.1980,viola, Willis. De ptmmmm..
Lima..Perú..
She SPARKLES in every sense of the word! 🤩
Love this song and so many great memories from the late 70's . Thank you Viola. RIP x
Viola had it all! Amazing voice.....amazing beauty....great stage presence ! She should have been a much more major star.......the recording artists that hit it big did not have 1/2 her talent.
But producers liked them young. Evelyn Champagne King and Brenda Lee are prime examples. She was 39.
This was about her 3rd coming, according to what i read' about miss Wills, she had several children, the first music Barry Whyte produced solo was sung by her in 1967, she would be in her early 80's if she was still around.
@@annmarieclarke9107 And she would still be singing I think.
Love it ❤️❤️❤️ still listening in 2022, a beautiful lady and wot a voice amazing ❤️👍 RIP beautiful lady sweet dreams ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎊
it was different time, life was so simple and disco was at its peak - its always the case when you look back, it brings back memories of what else could the future have install for us, but at the same time we were happy to stay in our era
We had the greatest songs in the 70's. I wish I could go back.
Beautiful!!!👏🤩😍❤️🎶
Timeless ! I never get tired of hearing this track. Viola thanks for this beautiful piece of music. RIP lovely.
It was written by two men.
:'(R.I.P.:'(
Rest in Paradise Viola Wills, great & timeless song that we can connect with on all levels.
Back when you had to switch hands so didn't get caught up in microphone wire, so good looking, what a smile, energy, great song never get tired.
Just brilliant these sound bring back so many great times had then and really cheers you up in todays dark days.
Beautiful song beautiful voice beautiful lady great times 👍👍👍👍
En 1980 conoci a mi Amada esposa en La UNMSM con esta cancion que hermoso Tiempo y ahora yo y Ella estamos juntos desde Entonces y vivimos en Australia! Viva los 70 y 80 !
En los meses de Mayo y Junio de 1980,se oía esta canción a menudo por la radio en Australia.
All of Viola's cover versions are the BEST versions ❤
2023 y está canción sigue siendo súper bella de 1980👍😎
This Wills (1939-2009) is really nice.
She managed to place six children before the age of 21, and she did well, because breastfeeding, for gynecologists, must end by 28.
Then, fortunately, in 65, it was discovered by Barry White.
Known almost for this single song, which is the reissue of a motif from the early 1950s, but with her it had unexpected success, in 1979 ... (at 40)
They are among those who can remember it
"Life is an unanswered question, but let's still believe in the dignity and importance of the question."
Tennessee Williams.
Herrlich,bei diesem Sound hebe ich heute noch ab💃🕺.
Makes me soooo happy!!
70s.80s was the best years of my life . listening to songs like one great voice lovely woman
HEY VIOLA, THANKS FOR THE GOOD OLD DAYS, JUST ONLY ONE TEAR TO DROP, SEPT. 10, 2020, LIFE IS AMAZING....
70s classic hit, one to dance too! July 2022! Awesome artist!👍👍❤❤😃😃
RIP lovely Viola Wills! 💔🌹💔🌹💔
It's very nice to able to hear this beautiful memorable song again when disco were in it's top era. Wish this kind of disco music can reborn
Am 25 and love the Disco! This is music! not like what they call now-adays which are in top 40.. If I had a Time machine.. I know excatly where am going! DISCO TIMe!
Sure does take me back to the great times , beautiful piece of music and what a great voice she had R I P
I like how she sings,dance,everything.
1 of the best ever disco songs of the 1970's for sure
Me and Marilyn went on one of our first dates to see Viola at The Joogleberry in Brighton. There was only one little table for two right up the front. We were nervous. Viola was brilliant. 🥰
Great voice , love the old songs - no autotune here
This helped me over a break up took a while tho.
Love this music, far better than a lot of the moronic rubbish produced now. However... 'autotune' has been around in various forms since the 1940s.
@@sawleyram7405 las voces de eatudio heran iguales a las que salian en vivo ahora ya no es así
Me to
If you think the vocals haven't been treated in the studio then you don't know how it works. In fact I would think something very much like auto tune was used. There's absolutely nothing wrong with autotune and pretty much every artist uses it.
Una canción muy alegre, así como se mostraba Viola Wills, no me canso de escuchar este lindo tema, gracias Viola por siempre...
Love this song takes me back in time x
what a great song by a lovely lady truely missed
Mama mia

Cerraba los ojos y ojalá estuviera en lo Güeno y quedarme anclado bailando estas hermosas melodías y ese ambiente tan sano,donde todo era amor y simpatía,los años destrozan a los seres humanos y ya nunca seremos igual,que pena me da ...
Such a brilliant song, by such a wonderful singer.
Love this song beautiful ❤

Amo essa música.
Beautiful Voice Viola Wills Legendary
She had a really excellent voice - surprised she didn't have more hits.
Normally this isn't my style of music preference, but I really liked this. I mean, I REALLY liked it.
Had the luck and honor of knowing her many years ago in the late 90's in Palm Springs. Ate dinner and went out clubbing on a few occasions with her.
Llevo 10 veces repitiéndola hermosa cancion
Viola,what a voice RIP
