About This Version
Tony Bennett first recorded “Until I Met You” in 1962 for the album On The Glory Road which, sadly, was not released. It’s a terrific album with a lot of great songs on it, including the title song (which Bennett used to close his Carnegie Hall concert of the same year). “Until I Met You” was arranged by Ralph Sharon and features the Ralph Sharon Trio. Ernie Altschuler produced the album.
