"Till Then" is a popular song written by Eddie Seiler, Sol Marcus, and Guy Wood and published in 1944. The song was a plea (presumably by a soldier off to fight the war) to his sweetheart to wait for him until he could get back home. Like many war-themed songs, it enjoyed great popularity when it came out in 1944, and versions by The Mills Brothers and the Les Brown orchestra dominated the charts. The recording by The Mills Brothers was released by Decca Records as catalog number 18599. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on September 21, 1944 and lasted three weeks on the chart, peaking at number eight (a two-sided hit, backed by "You Always Hurt the One You Love"). It also topped the R&B charts. Ten years later, the song once more became quite popular. Both a doo wop version by Sonny Til & The Orioles and a traditional pop version by The Hilltoppers charted that year. The recording by The Hilltoppers was released by Dot Records as catalog number 15132. It first reached the Billboard magazine Best Seller chart on January 23, 1954 and spent eleven weeks on the chart, peaking at ten. The song has continued to be popular, with versions recorded in later years by such as Sammy Davis Jr., James Brown, and Al Martino. A 1963 version by The Classics reached twenty on the chart. "Till Then", The Mills Brothers version, was featured on an episode of the TV show, "The Others, titled "Till Then (April 29, 2000, Season 1 - Episode 10) The song can be heard in Lance Henriksens, "Millennium" episode: "Matryoshka" which was first aired on 19 feb 1999.
