Song of the Day: The Glory Of Love

The song of the day for Monday, October 10, 2022, is “The Glory Of Love.”

About This Song

Although written in 1938 by Billy Hill, “The Glory of Love” served as the theme song for the 1967 film Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, which starred Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy; it was Tracy’s last film–he died in October 1967. The song was first recorded in 1936 by Benny Goodman and that recording reached #1 on the charts. Count Basie, Jimmy Durante, and Peggy Lee have also recorded the song. Paul McCartney recorded it for his 2012 album of standards, Kisses On The Bottom.

About This Version

Tony Bennett, with his friend Dominic Germano, recorded “The Glory Of Love” on January 15, 1968, featuring an arrangement by Torrie Zito. It was released in 1968 as a single.

“The Glory Of Love” is available on Apple Music.
