Song of the Day: It Amazes Me

The song of the day for Friday, August 30, 2019, is “It Amazes Me.”

About This Song

Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh wrote “It Amazes Me” in 1958. Liza Minnelli recorded this song when she was only eighteen years old, on her first album. It has also been recorded by Bill Evans, George Shearing, and Cleo Laine.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “It Amazes Me” in 1958 for his album Long Ago and Far Away. The very nice arrangement is by Frank DeVol.

“It Amazes Me,” as well as Long Ago and Far Away, is available from iTunes.
