The song of the day for March 21, 2044 (the first full day of Spring), is “Spring Is Here.”
About This Song
“Spring Is Here” was written by Richard Rodgers and Larry Hart for the 1938 film I Married An Angel, where it was introduced by Dennis King and Vivienne Segal. It’s one of Hart’s saddest lyrics, where the coming of Spring has no meaning, as his love is gone. But rather than a sad, depressing song, with the lovely melody by Rodgers, the song has sweet poignancy.
About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded “Spring Is Here” with The Ruby Braff/George Barnes Quartet in July 1973 for Tony Bennett Sings 10 Rodgers & Hart Songs.
“Spring Is Here,” as well as Tony Bennett Sings The Rodgers & Hart Songbook, is available on Apple Music.
