DAY BY DAY
“Day by Day” is a song from the 1971 Stephen Schwartz and John-Michael Tebelak musical Godspell. “Day by Day” is the third song in the show’s score, and it is also reprised as the closing number for the 1973 film version. In 1972, a version of the song sung by the original Broadway cast was released as a single in the US, and attributed simply to the group name “Godspell”. Robin Lamont was the lead singer, uncredited. “Day By Day” spent 14 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at the #13 position on July 29, 1972. Billboard ranked it as the No. 90 song for 1972.

The Godspell album was released in July 1971 on Bell Records and performed well on the charts. Sales began slipping until Bell released the single “Day by Day” by the original cast in 1972, with Robin Lamont singing lead. The single reached #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
