Fascinating Rhythm
It’s time for an uptempo number and this one never fails to make me smile–and want to get up move … George Gershwin’s Fascinating Rhythm from the 1962 Carnegie Hall Concert.
That’s it!

The Man That Got Away
Today’s Song of the Day is one of my favorite songs from the Great American Songbook, The Man That Got Away by Harold Arlen and Ira Gershwin. Other than Judy Garland’s untoppable performance of this song in A Star is Born, Tony’s is my favorite version of the song. Originally released on Tony’s masterpiece album Tony Bennett Sings for Two in 1959.
