The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

June 12, 2019 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Falling In Love With Love

The song of the day for Thursday, June 13, 2019, is “Falling In Love With Love.”

About This Song

“Falling In Love With Love” was written in 1938 by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for the musical The Boys of Syracuse. The song pairs a beautiful Rodgers waltz melody with the adult with somewhat 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, with a lovely arrangement by Don Costa. It was not released on the original LP of If I Ruled the World: Songs for the Jet Set, but was added to the album for the 1997 CD re-release.
