About This Version
“I’ve Got Your Number” is from Tony Bennett’s 1963 album I Wanna Be Around. The song was arranged by Marty Manning with a great big band sound … the trombones at the beginning get me each and every time I listen to this song. The album was produced by Ernie Altschuler.
Today’s version is by request from this blog’s earliest and most devoted fan. Nick, you take care of yourself!

I love this song! I asked for it and here it is! Tony is masterful on this special recording! Thanks to Suzanne and Lesley!
It’s one of my favorites too. It’s a great arrangement as well.
