The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

February 20, 2022 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Street of Dreams

The song of the day for Monday, February 21, 2022, is “Street of Dreams.”

About This Song

“Street of Dreams” was written in 1932 by Victor Young and Sam M. Lewis. It has a classic depression-era sense, where love is one of the few things that may be impossible for those with money, but “no one is poor as long as love is sure.” Bing Crosby was the first singer to record “Street of Dreams”, though the Russ Columbo recording was also popular.

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Ralph Sharon recorded “Street of Dreams” for their 1961 album Tony Sings For Two, our album of the week.

“Street of Dreams,” as well as Tony Sings For Two is available on Apple Music.
