About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded “All In Fun” in 2004 for his wonderful album The Art of Romance. I fell in love with Tony Bennett when I first heard this album. I given this album to friends and they’ve fallen in love as well. The album explores the nature and arc of romance, from beginning to end. The album is warm, funny, gorgeous, sad and gloriously happy. Kind of like romance. “All In Fun” was arranged by Lee Musiker.
“All In Fun,” as well as The Art of Romance, is available from iTunes.
