The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

April 23, 2022 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Have I Told You Lately

The song of the day for Sunday, April 24, 2022, is “Have I Told You Lately.”

About This Song

“Have I Told You Lately” was written in 1962 by Harold Rome for I Can Get It For You Wholesale, which marked the Broadway debut of the then 19-year-old Barbra Streisand in the supporting role of Miss Marmelstein, a secretary. Her audition for the role was so good, that the writers enlarged her role to take better advantage of her prodigious talents. The cast album was recorded by Columbia Records, and Goddard Lieberson had the good sense to sign the young Streisand to a contract and thus Columbia produced her first album, The Barbra Streisand Album, released in 1963.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Have I Told You Lately” in 1962, featuring an arrangement by Marty Manning. It was released in 1962 on the album I Left My Heart in San Francisco.

“Have I Told You Lately,” as well as I Left My Heart in San Francisco is available on Apple Music.
