Song of the Day: The Moment of Truth

The song of the day for Monday, July 9, 2018 is “The Moment of Truth.”

About This Song

Today’s song, “The Moment of Truth,” was written in 1963 by Tex Satterwhite and Frank Scott. This song has been recorded by Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, and Bing Crosby.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “The Moment of Truth” in 1963 and featured an arrangement by Ralph Burns. The song was originally slated for the album I Wanna Be Around, but didn’t make the first LP release; instead it was released later that year on This Is All I Ask. It was included on the 1995 CD release of I Wanna Be Around, but are now included on This Is All I Ask.

Bennett used this song as the overture for his 1964 show Live at the Sahara: From This Moment On.
