The Song of the Day is the glorious A Sleeping Bee, written by Harold Arlen and Truman Capote. It was written for the musical House of Flowers, based on the short story by Truman Capote; Harold Arlen wrote music and lyrics and Truman Capote wrote the book and lyrics. It’s a lovely song and we’re happy to present it as the Song of the Day. Tony Bennett first recorded A Sleeping Bee 1959 for Tony Bennett Sings for Two, his wonderful album with Ralph Sharon.
Yesterday I Heard The Rain
The Song of the Day is Yesterday I Heard the Rain. I must admit that I wasn’t aware of this song prior to the Tony Bennett/Alejandro Sanz duet on Duets II. Mr. Bennett first recorded the song for his 1968 album of the same name. Written originally in Spanish, Esta Tarde Vi Llover was written By Armando Mazanero, with lyrics by Gene Lees. It’s a beautiful song and we’re happy to present Mr. Bennett’s original recording.
It Was Me

This song was also featured on a National Public Radio for a series of summer song favorites: Mr. Bennett chose this song as his favorite summer song.
