Song of the Day: The Best Is Yet To Come

The song of the day for Saturday, March 11, 2023, is “The Best Is Yet To Come.”

About This Song

“The Best Is Yet To Come” was written in 1959 by Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh. Some say that “The Best is Yet to Come” was written for Tony Bennett. In any case, the song is strongly identified with him and he sang it regularly at most of his concerts. Other recordings include those by Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “The Best Is Yet To Come” on September 15, 2016, live from Radio City Music Hall, for the televised tribute to him in celebration of his 90th birthday. On that evening, singers including Lady Gaga, Andrea Bocelli, Diana Krall, and k.d. lang also performed songs that Bennett also recorded. The evening was captured on the album Tony Bennett Celebrates 90: The Best Is Yet To Come.
