The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 13, 2021 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: All For You

The song of the day for Sunday, February 14, 2021, is “All For You.”

About This Song

Django Reinhardt wrote the song “Nuages” in 1940; Tony Bennett wrote these lyrics to the song in 2004. Bennett’s son, Danny, had long encouraged his father to write a song. While performing in Hawaii, he dropped in to a small jazz club and heard the Django Reinhardt song “Nuages” and felt that he had found the right melody for the song he had in mind. The resulting song is a really beautiful love song for his Susan, now his wife.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “All For You” in 2004 for The Art of Romance. Johnny Mandel arranged the song and conducted the orchestra.
