An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

November 22, 2017 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: I’ve Come Home Again

The song of the day for Thanksgiving Day, November 23, 2017 is “I’ve Come Home Again.”

About This Song

This song was written in 1989 by New York cabaret artist Charles DeForest for Tony Bennett to record for Astoria: Portrait of the Artist. DeForest got his professional start as a singer for the Benny Goodman Orchestra, but soon set out on his own as a performer in piano bars and cabarets in Manhattan. He won several awards for his cabaret work, including those from the Manhattan Association of Cabarets in 1994 and 1996 and the Mabel Mercer Foundation in 1992.

About This Version

Tony Bennett sings “I’ve Come Home Again,” recorded in 1989 for his autobiographical album Astoria: Portrait of the Artist. The arrangement is by Jorge Calandrelli.
