It has been recorded by many artists, but is probably best known in a 1953 recording by Kay Starr. Harry Woods, who practised songwriting only as a sideline, wrote numerous 1920s standards, including "When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob-Bob-Bobbing Along", "I'm Looking Over a Four-Leaf Clover", and "Try a Little Tenderness". He composed his songs on piano, despite the fact that he was born without fingers on his left hand.

Episode #152 of the television program, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, which aired December 26, 1952, featured the cast, including Rick Nelson, as well as extras singing the song around a campfire.

"Side by Side" was the theme to a BBC Radio program of the same name which aired in 1963, hosted by Karl Denver. Notably the shows theme song featured the Karl Denver Trio with John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison of the Beatles joining in on vocals.

The song has been mentioned and referred to for a title from the tune's lines of the popular young adult novel, Just as Long as We're Together by Judy Blume.

"Side by Side" was featured in the movie Richie Rich (film) as the password to the Rich's safe (sung by Mr. and Mrs. Rich)
