An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

June 16, 2020 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Love Is Here To Stay

The song of the day for Wednesday, June 17, 2020, is “Love Is Here To Stay.”

About This Song

“Love Is Here To Stay” was written by George and Ira Gershwin in 1937 for The Goldwyn Follies movie, which was released after George Gershwin’s death. It’s also known as “Our Love Is Here To Stay,” but the published title of the song omits the “Our.”

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Diana Krall recorded “Love Is Here To Stay” for their 2018 album Love Is Here To Stay. They are accompanied by the wonderful Bill Charlap Trio, featuring Charlap on piano, Peter Washington on bass, and Kenny Washington on drums.

“Love Is Here To Stay,” as well as Love Is Here To Stay, is available from Apple Music.

Here’s the lovely video for this song:
