The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

April 10, 2018 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Falling In Love With Love

The song of the day for Wednesday, April 11, 2018 is “Falling In Love With Love.”

About This Song

Written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, “Falling In Love With Love” is from the Broadway musical The Boys of Syracuse. The song pairs a beautiful Rodgers waltz melody with the adult and rather somber lyric by Hart: in other words, a perfect Rodgers and Hart song.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Falling In Love With Love” in 1965 in the same session as several of the songs that were released on the initial album If I Ruled the World: Songs for the Jet Set. The recording didn’t make it to the album in 1965, but was added (thankfully) to its 1997 re-release. Don Costa did the arrangement.
