The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

July 6, 2016 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Where Or When

The song of the day for Thursday, July 7, 2016 is “Where Or When.”

About This Song

“Where or When”, by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, was written for the 1937 musical Babes in Arms. Benny Goodman recorded “Where or When” in 1941 with a very young Peggy Lee. It is a favorite song of many vocalists and has had many fine recordings.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Where Or When” in 1959 with just Ralph Sharon in a legendary studio session where the pair recorded nineteen songs in just one day. The result was the sublime album Tony Sings For Two, released in 1962.
