The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

September 13, 2014 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Maybe September

The song of the day for Saturday, September 13, 2014 is “Maybe September.”

About This Song

Today’s song, “Maybe September,” was written in 1965 for the movie The Oscar by Percy Faith with lyrics by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. The Oscar is the only movie that Bennett has acted in. He played one of the few good guys in the movie, an agent named Hymie Kelly. While the film received mixed reviews, this song is terrific and is beautifully sung by Tony Bennett.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Maybe September” in 1965 for The Movie Song Album. The song was arranged by Larry Wilcox and conducted by Johnny Mandel. This album is one of Bennett’s favorite of his albums and includes great Bennett hits including “The Shadow of Your Smile,” “Emily,” “Days of Wine and Roses” and “Smile.”
