Song of the Day: Young and Foolish

The song of the day for Tuesday, December 23, 2014 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, which places a New York couple in an Amish community in Pennsylvania. It’s a lovely song and is a favorite of jazz and cabaret singers.

About This Version
