The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

December 5, 2023 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Get Happy

The song of the day for Wednesday, December 6, 2023, is “Get Happy.”

About This Song

“Get Happy” was written by Harold Arlen and Ted Koehler in 1930 for the The Nine-Fifteen Revue, where it was introduced by Ruth Etting. Most people today are more familiar with Judy Garland’s wonderful song and dance performance in the 1950 movie Summer Stock.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Get Happy” on May 22, 1968, for his album Yesterday I Heard The Rain. Torrie Zito wrote the arangement.

“Get Happy,” as well as Yesterday I Heard The Rain, is available on Apple Music.

If you need some help to get happy, I recommend Judy Garland from Summer Stock:
