My favorite “breakup” song is “Together” by the Miami Royal Palm Orchestra, from 1928. A British version from the same year by Ray Starita is available here. A more recent song in that category that I like is Bazoom, a bestseller from 1954 by The Cheers.

Below are some other great songs in this genre.

  1. Who’s Blue Now? --Waring’s Pennsylvanians, 1928

  2. Who’s Sorry Now?--Marion Harris, 1923

  3. The Song is Ended--Ruth Etting, 1927

  4. C. C. Rider Blues—Ma Rainey & Her Georgia Jazz Band, 1925
    (I also like the version by Bea Booze from 1943)

  5. Thanks for the Memory--Bob Hope & Dorothy Lange, 1938

  6. Lawdy, Miss Clawdy—Lloyd Price, 1952

  7. I Went to Your Wedding--Patti Page, 1952

  8. Maybe You’ll Be There--Gordon Jenkins & His Orchestra, 1948

  9. It’s Almost Tomorrow--The Dream Weavers, 1955
    (That's a group from Coral Gables, Fla., not a computer program)

  10. Tear Drops--Lee Andrews & the Hearts, 1958
