The song of the day for Wednesday, February 19, 2025, is “Falling In Love With Love.”
About This Song
“Falling In Love With Love” was written by Richard Rodgers and Larry Hart for the 1938 Broadway musical The Boys of Syracuse. The song pairs a beautiful Rodgers waltz melody with the adult and rather somber lyrics by Hart; in other words, a perfect Rodgers and Hart song. Other notable songs from The Boys of Syracuse include “Sing For Your Supper” and “This Can’t Be Love.”
About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded “Falling In Love With Love” 60 years ago today, on February 19, 1965, along with several other songs for If I Ruled World: Songs For The Jet Set. However, “Falling In Love With Love” was not included on the original LP but was added to the 1997 CD release of the album. Don Costa wrote the excellent arrangement and conducted the orchestra.
