The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

April 25, 2017 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Anything Goes

The song of the day for Wednesday, April 26, 2017 is “Anything Goes.”

About This Song

In Anything Goes, Cole Porter and book writers Guy Bolton and P.G. Wodehouse created one of the great musical comedy characters of all time: Reno Sweeney, played by Ethel Merman in the original 1934 production. The score contains many of Porter’s most popular songs, including “I Get a Kick Out You,” “You’re The Top,” and “Blow, Gabriel, Blow.”

About This Version

Tony Bennett first recorded “Anything Goes” in 1959 for the album Basie/Bennett. Today, however, we feature the Marion Evans arrangement for Mr. Bennett and Lady Gaga for their album Cheek To Cheek.

“Anything Goes,” as well as Cheek To Cheek, is available from iTunes.
