Song of the Day: Snowfall

The song of the day for Friday, December 14, 2018, is “Snowfall.”
Today is the first day of The Twelve Days of a Tony Bennett Christmas.

About This Song

“Snowfall” was written by Claude and Ruth Thornhill. It’s a cool jazz song, though written in 1941, long before there was such as thing as cool jazz. It’s an evocative and moody song, though quite beautiful.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “Snowfall” in 1968 for his album Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album. It was arranged by Robert Farnon.

    The ending to Tony’s rendition of Snowfall is mesmerizing…..just fades like a gently swirling snowflake into the white landscape Classic winter’s tune,, great interpretation. .

      Thank you for your comment, John. I love this recording for the same reason and love to open The Twelve Days of a Tony Bennett Christmas with this song.
