The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

April 6, 2018 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: I’ll Be Seeing You

The song of the day for Saturday, April 7, 2018 is “I’ll Be Seeing You.”

About This Song

“I’ll Be Seeing You” was written in 1938 by Sammy Fain (music) and Irving Kahal (lyrics). The song grew to its fame during World War II, when it became something of an anthem for soldiers serving overseas and the loved ones left at home. It’s been recorded by Billie Holiday, Al Hirt, Lisa Minelli, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee and Willie Nelson.

About This Version

Tony Bennett has recorded “I’ll Be Seeing You.” The first was in 1956 for his early LP album Tony. Today’s version is from 1992 on the album Perfectly Frank.

I"ll Be Seeing You

Listen to I"ll Be Seeing You on Spotify. Tony Bennett · Song · 1992.

“I’ll Be Seeing You,” as well as Perfectly Frank, is available from iTunes.

About Today

For our Saturday video, I have Tony’s friend Rosemary Clooney singing today’s song. I’m guessing it was filmed in the early 1950s.
