The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 14, 2016 By Suzanne 1 Comment

Song of the Day: I Got Lost In Her Arms

The song of the day for is “I Got Lost In Her Arms.”

About This Song

Irving Berlin wrote “I Got Lost In His Arms” for the 1946 musical Annie Get Your Gun, where the song was introduced by Ethel Merman in one of her great Broadway roles. The song is now sung by men and women, with the interchangeable his/her pronoun.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded this beautiful version of “I Got Lost In His Arms” in 1986 for The Art Of Excellence, one of my favorite of his albums. It was the first album he made with Columbia after he returned to the label. And excellent it was.

The Day You Leave Me

Listen to The Day You Leave Me on Spotify. Tony Bennett · Song · 1986.


“I Got Lost In Her Arms,” as well as The Art of Excellence, is available from iTunes.
