'' Walker remembered him saying, `` I got a song title for you... ' You Do n't Know Me. ' '' `` But I know you, '' teased Walker. `` This is serious, replied Eddy, who proceeded to outline his idea. The songwriter promised to let the idea stew in her head for a while. And soon, she remembered, the lyrics tumbled onto the page. `` The song just started singing. It sort of wrote itself... '' Notable recorded versions The best - selling version of the song is by Ray Charles, who took it to # 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1962, after releasing the song on his # 1 album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. This version also topped the `` Easy listening '' chart for three weeks in 1962, and was used in the 1993 comedy film Groundhog Day. The song was the 12th number one country hit for Mickey Gilley in 1981. The song has been performed or recorded by hundreds of artists, including Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and Willie Nelson. Charles re-recorded the song with Diana Krall on his # 1 album of duets, Genius Loves Company, the only song common to both of Charles ' two # 1 albums. It was sung by Meryl Streep in the 1990 film Postcards from the Edge, by John Legend in the 2007 Curb Your Enthusiasm episode `` The Bat Mitzvah '', by Robert Downey Jr. in the 1998 film Two Girls and a Guy, and by Lizzy Caplan in the 2013 Masters of Sex episode `` Phallic Victories ''.
