The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

Song of the Day: There’ll Be Some Changes Made

The song of the day for Tuesday, May 13, 2014 is “There’ll Be Some Changes Made.”

About This Song

“There’ll Be Some Changes Made” was written in 1921, with music by Benton Overstreet and lyrics by Billy Higgins, two African-American vaudeville performers. Ethel Waters had a hit recording of this song in late 1921; other early recordings include those by Marion Harris, Josie Miles, Fats Waller, and the Chicago Rhythm Kings. Later recordings include those by Billy Holiday, Peggy Lee and Tony Bennett. Even western singers have been drawn to the song by artists including Chet Atkins, Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys and Pee Wee Russell’s Rhythmakers.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “There’ll Be Some Changes Made” in 1975 for his album Tony Bennett Sings Life Is Beautiful. The really great arrangement is by Torrie Zito; Chuck Hughes on drums and John Guiffrida on bass rounded out the trio with Zito on piano.
