The song of the day for Sunday, March 3, 2024, is “By Myself.”
About This Song
“By Myself” was written by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz for the 1937 musical Between the Devil, where it was introduced by Jack Buchanan. Another great Schwartz-Dietz song from Between the Devil was “I See Your Face Before Me.” This song was used in the 1953 Fred Astaire film, The Band Wagon.
About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded “By Myself” on November 3, 1958, for his album Hometown, My Town, which was released in 1959. Ralph Burns arranged the song and conducted the orchestra.
“By Myself,” as well as Hometown, My Town, is available on Apple Music.
I came across a video of Judy Garland singing “By Myself” in 1964 for her television show. She brings down the house with this performance.
