Song of the Day: Some Other Spring

The song of the day for Monday, April 27, 2015 is “Some Other Spring.”

About This Song

Today’s song, “Some Other Spring” was written especially for Billie Holiday in 1939, with music by Arthur Herzog, Jr. and lyrics by Lady Day’s friend Irene Wilson Kitchings, wife of Teddy Wilson.

About This Version

I love this sad love song. Bennett sings it with a very nice gentleness that I do love.
