The song of the day for Saturday, March 21, 2026, is “Spring is Here.”
About This Song
“Spring is Here” was written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart for the 1938 musical 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. The song has been widely recorded by artists including Chet Baker, Rosemary Clooney, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Susannah McCorkle, Frank. Sinatra, and many more.
