Song of the Day: I Left My Heart in San Francisco

The song of the day for Friday, March 14, 2014 is “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”

About This Song

What can be said about “I Left My Heart In San Francisco”? It’s a wonderful song that touches all who listen deep inside. It’s one of my favorites.

The song was written by George Cory and Douglass Cross; the songwriters were from San Francisco. They had moved to New York and, feeling a little homesick, wrote this song. To learn more about the song, see I Left My Heart In San Francisco at our sister site, The Interactive Tony Bennett Discography. You can read about Bennett/Brubeck: The White House Sessions Live 1962 at the same site.

About This Version

Today’s version is from the recently released Bennett / Brubeck: The White House Sessions, Live 1962. Bennett is backed by the Ralph Sharon Trio, with Sharon on piano, Billy Exiner on drums and Hal Gaylord on bass. It’s a really beautiful performance of this song.
