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“.
