The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

July 25, 2018 By Suzanne 2 Comments

Song of the Day: Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me

The song of the day for Thursday, July 26, 2018 is “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me.”

About This Song

“Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me” was written in 1933 by Rube Bloom and Ted Koehler for the Cotton Club Parade – World’s Fair Edition.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me” in 1961 for the album My Heart Sings. It was arranged by Ralph Burns, who had previously worked with Tony Bennett on the 1959 Hometown, My Town. I have to confess that I am a huge fan of Ralph Burns’ work for Tony Bennett. There is a solid, muscular quality to his work as a big band arranger that I really respond to. This song, in particular, shows Burns at his very best.

      Thanks Ziggy. Some of the songs from the 1920s through the 1940s are pretty good.
