Jackson. ^[1] "I'll Get By" reached No. 6 on the US Cash Box Top 100 and No. 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100. ^[2] It was Money's last Top-40 single on the chart. ^[3] The song's music video was dedicated to Bill Graham. ^[4]

Reception

Upon its release, Larry Flick of Billboard magazine wrote, "Money has a good shot at reviving top 40 interest thanks to this mournful pop/rock ballad. His well-worn voice provides a wordly, affecting edge." ^[5] In a review of Right Here, Joe Konz of The Indianapolis Star wrote: "The album's nominal slow song, 'I'll Get By', could almost be characterized as tender. Almost. 'I'll Get By' is probably as good as [Money] gets when he's out of his league." ^[6] Dana Tofig of the Hartford Courant considered the song "an acceptable but predictable ballad". ^[7]
