The biggest hit version of the song was recorded by Tony Martin, which charted in 1949. The recording was released by RCA Victor Records as a 78 pm record (catalog number 20-3582) and a 45 pm record (catalog number 47-3078). The record first reached the Billboard chart on November 4, 1949, and lasted 27 weeks on the chart, peaking at number two.1 Martin was attending a Friars Club of Beverly Hills roast for Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz on November 24, 1958, in Los Angeles. Right after comedian Harry Einstein (alias "Parkyarkarkus") brought the house down with his amusing testimonial, Einstein suddenly suffered a heart attack, slumping into Milton Berle's lap. Emcee Art Linkletter then directed Martin to sing a song to divert the crowd's attention; the singer's unfortunate choice was 'There's No Tomorrow". Einstein's heart attack proved fatal, and Martin was a pallbearer at the comedian's funeral.

BARBARA: One of the last times I spoke with my father, we were talking about . .. I don't know, the state of the world, something ... and he said, "You know, this country was always pretty much a whorehouse, but at least it used to have some promise. Now it's just a shithole." And I think now maybe he was talking about something else, something more spe-cific, something more personal to him . .. this house? This family? His marriage? Himself? I don't know. But there was something sad in his voice--or no, not sad, he always sounded sad--something more hopeless than that. As if it had already happened. As if whatever was disappearing had already disappeared. As if it was too late. As if it was already over. And no one saw it go. This country, this experiment, America, this hubris: what a lament, if no one saw it go. Here today, gone tomorrow. (Beat) Dissipation is actually much worse than cataclysm.

WASHINGTON - Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was found "unconscious" and may have suffered a heart attack at his DC residence before being rushed to a local hospital last month, according to a District Fire and EMS dispatch call made public Wednesday. The June 14 call referenced medical personnel in an ALS, or Advanced Life Support, ambulance being sent to the home shortly before 9 a.m. and mentioned there was "CPR in progress" for a "cardiac arrest." Punchbowl News first reported on the EMS radio traffic.
