The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

December 7, 2017 By Suzanne 1 Comment

Song of the Day: Make Someone Happy

The song of the day for Friday, December 8, 2017 is “Make Someone Happy.”

About This Song

Today’s song, “Make Someone Happy” is from the 1960 musical Do Re Mi, by Jule Styne, Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Do Re Mi concerns a guy, a bit of a loser and a con, who goes into the juke box business with some gangster pals. ”Make Someone Happy” was introduced by John Reardon and Nancy Dussault.

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Bill Evans recorded “Make Someone Happy” in 1976 for their second album Together Again.

I know I just played a song by these three wonderful songwriters. No matter–it’s great music.
