The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 14, 2018 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: My Ship

The song of the day for Thursday, February 15, 2018 is “My Ship.”

About This Song

“My Ship” was written for the Broadway musical Lady in the Dark by Kurt Weill and Ira Gershwin in 1941. Miles Davis’ recording in 1957, along with vocal versions by Jeri Southern and Sarah Vaughan, cemented this song as a jazz standard.

About This Version

We return to our examination of Tony Bennett’s legendary concert at Carnegie Hall. Finishing up his selection of songs from musicals, Bennett started a string of songs by Kurt Weill with “My Ship,” which he had recorded the year before on My Heart Sings. Today, we’re listening to the 10th song in the concert, from the 1962 album Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall.

My Ship (From "Lady In The Dark") - Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - June 1962

Listen to My Ship (From "Lady In The Dark") - Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - June 1962 on Spotify. Tony Bennett, Ralph Sharon & His Orchestra · Song · 1962.
