"Since I Don't Have You" is a song by the doo-wop group The Skyliners, from their self-titled album. Released in late 1958, the single reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100; it was also a top five hit on the 1959 R&B chart. Highlighted by Jimmy Beaumont's lead singer powerful vocals, and the counterpoint between his falsetto and Janet Vogel's soprano, on her final chorus, the song is considered by many, including oldies fans, one of the best "heartbreak" ballads ever recorded; it is a classic of pre-Beatles rock and roll. As a testament to it's longevity, it is frequently played on the radio; the song was featured in the films American Graffiti, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Lethal Weapon 2, and Mischief, and television shows such as Happy Days.
