About This Version
Tony Bennett has recorded “Sing You Sinners” several times. Today’s version is the first: from 1950 with an arrangement by Marty Manning. It swings quite nicely!

About Today
It’s Saturday and that means a video. This is Tony singing today’s song, live from 1973.
All I can say is that it was the 1970s. I think that all of us who lived through that time have worn something during those years that we regret.:-)
