The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 24, 2019 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Maybe September

The song of the day for Sunday, February 24, 2018 is “Maybe September.”

About This Song

“Maybe September” was written by Percy Faith, with lyrics by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. The song is from the only movie that Tony Bennett acted in (so far), The Oscar, where he played the good guy, an agent named Hymie Kelly. While the film received mixed reviews, this song is terrific and is beautifully sung by Tony Bennett.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Maybe September” in 1965. It was released in 1966 on The Movie Song Album, which Mr. Bennett has said is one of the favorites of his albums. “Maybe September” was arranged by Larry Wilcox.
