The song of the day for Thursday, July 9, 2026, is “Lullaby of Broadway.”
About This Song
“Lullaby of Broadway” was written by Harry Warren and Al Dubin for the 1935 movie The Gold Diggers of 1935. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. “Lullaby of Broadway” is one of the great show biz anthems. The 1980 Broadway musical 42nd Street featured Jerry Orbach singing the song, which I had the privilege of seeing in 1980.
About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded “Lullaby of Broadway” on October 21, 1957, for The Beat of My Heart, featuring Jo Jones on drums. Ralph Sharon wrote the arrangement
“Lullaby of Broadway,” as well as The Beat of My Heart, is available on Apple Music.
I’m happy to include Jerry Orbach singing “Lullaby of Broadway” live on the 1981 Tony Awards telecast.
