The song of the day for Wednesday, March 19, 2025, is “My Foolish Heart.”
About This Song
“My Foolish Heart” was written by Victor Young and Ned Washington in 1949 for a widely-panned film of the same name, based on a J.D. Salinger short story. Time magazine excoriated the score: “nothing offsets the blight of such tear-splashed excesses as the bloop-bleep-bloop of a sentimental ballad on the soundtrack.” Due to this experience, Salinger refused to consider any offers to make films of his works.
About This Version
