As Tony Bennett is performing this evening at Davies Hall in San Francisco, the song of the day for May 23, 2013 is I Left My Heart in San Francisco.
About This Song
What can I say? This is one the best songs ever recorded and it helped make Tony Bennett the legend that he is today. And 50 years after he first recorded it, it sounds as fresh and new as it can possibly be.
About This Version
This is the version recorded for the album in 1962. I never, ever tire of it. This song won Tony Bennett his first Grammy Award for Best Male Solo Performance as well as the Grammy for Record of the Year.

I Left My Heart in San Francisco, as well the album I Left My Heart in San Francisco is available from iTunes.
This song is associated with Benedetto. It had meaning to thousands of servicemen leaving for Vietnam Nam from San Francisco. Tony sang it with feeling, warmth, love and peace in his heart!
