'X' is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, Carousel. In the musical, in the second act, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the female protagonist Julie Jordan, sings 'X' to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, is killed during a failed robbery. notable hit versions of 'X' have been made by Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Elvis Presley, Doris Day, Roy Hamilton, Patti LaBelle & the Blue Belles, Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, Marty Robbins, and Renée Fleming. Since 1964 Jerry Lewis has concluded the annual Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon with an emotional version of 'X'. Lewis said at the end of the 2007 telethon that the song was suggested to him in 1964 by a disabled child. The Pink Floyd song "Fearless", from their 1971 album Meddle, includes a recording of the 'Y' singing 'X'. The recording is repeated many times during the song and appears solely as a conclusion at the end of the track.
