The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

March 12, 2019 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Maybe This Time

The song of the day for Wednesday, March 13, 2019, is “Maybe This Time.”

About This Song

“Maybe This Time” by John Kander and Fred Ebb. This song appeared in the film version of was Cabaret. It was not written for the original Broadway production. Nor was it written especially for the film version; Kander and Ebb had written the song in 1963 for Kaye Ballard. It was therefore not eligible for consideration for an Academy Award. The song is, of course, widely associated with Liza Minnelli, who sang it in the film version of Cabaret. Tony Bennett sings the song regularly at his concerts.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded this version of “Maybe This Time” in 1995 for the album Here’s To The Ladies. In this album, Bennett sings songs associated with the best of the female jazz and cabaret singers in the 20th century: from Billie Holiday to Judy Garland to Margaret Whiting and many more. “Maybe This Time” is for Liza Minnelli, who sang this song in the film version of Cabaret. Bennett and Ralph Sharon did the arrangement.
