"Can't Get By Without You" was a hit for The Real Thing in 1976. It was the follow-up to their smash hit "You to Me Are Everything".

Background

The song was written by Ken Gold and Mickey Denne and released on Pye 7N 45618. The B side, "(He's Just A) Moneymaker" was written by Chris and Eddie Amoo.[1] The song had a similar feel to their previous hit, but still reached no. 2 in the UK charts, kept from #1 by ABBA's Dancing Queen. It didn't make any real chart impression in the US.[2] On the week ending 16 October 1976, in the UK charts the song had dropped down a notch from no 2 to no 3.[3]

In 1986, a remixed version of the song "Can't Get By Without You (The Second Decade Remix)" by "She's A Groovy Freak" was released on the PRT label.[4]
