The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 26, 2013 By Suzanne 1 Comment

Song of the Day: If We Never Meet Again

The song of the day for Tuesday, February 26, 2013 is If We Never Meet Again.

About This Song

If We Never Meet Again was written ca. 1936 by Louis Armstrong and Horace Gerlach. Armstrong recorded this song in April 1936.

About This Version

To the best of my knowledge, Tony Bennett’s first and only recording of this delightful song was his duet with k.d. lang for their 2002 A Wonderful World album. Every song that Bennett and lang have recorded together has been magical; this song is no exception.

If We Never Meet Again

Listen to If We Never Meet Again on Spotify. Tony Bennett · Song · 2002.

If We Never Meet Again, as well as the full A Wonderful World album, is available from iTunes.

    This is actually a great song and performance! It has a haunting but beautiful melody. The words are gorgeous too!

    Why DJs failed to give it substantial airplay is sad! This is a song the world must hear.

    Lang and Il Maestro were simply magnificent in this recording!
