September 8, 2023 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: All For You

The song of the day for Saturday, September 9, 2023, is “All For You.”

About Today

The Year of Tony Bennett wants to wish Susan Benedetto a happy birthday.

About This Song

“All For You” was composed in 1940 by Django Reinhardt as “Nuages,” with lyrics by Tony Bennett in 2004. Tony Bennett’s son, Danny, had long encouraged his father to write a song. While performing in Hawaii, he dropped into a small jazz club and heard the Django Reinhardt song “Nuages” and felt he had found the right melody for the song he had in mind. The resulting song is really beautiful.

About This Version

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

The Art of Romance won the 2006 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

“All For You,” as well as The Art of Romance, is available on Apple Music.
