"I'll Be Home" is a 1955 song that was written by Ferdinand Washington and songwriter, Stan Lewis.[2]

Both the Flamingos and the Pat Boone versions feature a spoken recitation of the Bridge section.

Flamingos version

The Flamingos first recorded the song in October, 1955 at Chess' rudimentary office studio at 4750 South Cottage Grove using just two microphones and a tape recorder, then later at Universal Recording Corporation. Leonard Chess chose to release the less-polished version, recorded at Chess. The song was released on Chess' Checker Records subsidiary in January, 1956, with The Flamingos version going to No. 5 on Billboard's R&B chart,[3] its sales greatly overshadowed by the Pat Boone version released the same month.[4]

It was the best-selling single of 1956 in the United Kingdom.
