The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

April 14, 2021 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Falling In Love With Love

The song of the day for Thursday, April 15, 2021, is “Falling In Love With Love.”

About This Song

“Falling In Love With Love” was written by Richard Rodgers and Larry Hart in 1938 for the Broadway musical The Boys of Syracuse, pairs a beautiful Rodgers waltz melody with the adult and a 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, with an arrangement by Don Costa. It was originally planned for If I Ruled The World: Songs For The Jet Set, but wasn’t included on the 1965 LP; it was included on the 1997 CD re-release of the album.
