About This Version
Tony Bennett recorded “The Moment Of Truth” on April 24, 1963, for his album This Is All I Ask. Ralph Burns wrote the arrangement and conducted the big band.
This recording was also released on the 1996 CD re-release of I Wanna Be Around.

I found a terrific video of Tony Bennett singing “The Moment Of Truth” on The Ed Sullivan Show on November 24, 1964. Instead of singing on the main stage, Bennett chose to record from wherever the band was instead. The result was fantastic.
