Song of the Day: A Beautiful Friendship

The song of the day for Friday, April 27, 2018 is “A Beautiful Friendship.”

About This Song

“A Beautiful Friendship” was written in 1956 by the sons of two great American songwriters. The composer, Donald Kahn, was the son of lyricist Gus Kahn and the lyricist, Stanley Styne, was the son of composer and lyricist Jule Styne. In addition to Tony Bennett’s fine recording, “A Beautiful Friendship” has been recorded by Duke Ellington and Rosemary Clooney.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “A Beautiful Friendship” in 1967 for his album Tony Makes It Happen! The arrangement was done by Marion Evans. Both Mr. Bennett and Mr. Evans did exceptional work on this album–it’s definitely worth a listen.
