Song of the Day: Ain’t Misbehavin’

The song of the day for Sunday, September 218, 2022, is “Ain’t Misbehavin’.”

About This Song

“Ain’t Misbehavin'” was written in 1929 by Fats Waller and Harry Brooks, with lyrics by Andy Razaf. Waller introduced “Ain’t Misbehaving” in the 1929 musical revue Hot Chocolates, staged at Connie’s Inn in Harlem. Andy Razaf, the lyricist, says that Waller wrote the entire song in just 45 minutes. It has become one of Waller’s most well-known songs, perhaps due to the wildly successful Broadway musical revue Ain’t Misbehaving, which opened in 1978.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Ain’t Misbehavin'” on March 26, 1964, with an arrangement by Ralph Sharon. It was released that year on the album When Lights Are Low.

“Ain’t Misbehavin’,” as well as When Lights Are Low is available on Apple Music.
