Song of the Day: Young and Foolish

The song of the day for Sunday, May 21, 2017 is “Young and Foolish.”

About This Song

Young and Foolish” was written by Albert Hague and Arnold B. Horwitt for the 1954 musical Plain and Fancy. The show concerns a New York couple who travel to Amish country in Lancaster, Pennsylvania to sell a piece of property and become involved with and learn from the community.

About This Version

Today, I’m featuring an alternate take of “Young and Foolish,” recorded in 1975 by Tony Bennett and Bill Evans for their first album The Tony Bennett / Bill Evans Album.
