The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

July 26, 2018 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: The Party’s Over

The song of the day for Friday, July 27, 2018 is “The Party’s Over.”

About This Song

Today’s song, “The Party’s Over,” was written by Jule Styne, with lyrics by Adolph Green and Betty Comden, for the 1956 Broadway musical Bells Are Ringing. The song was introduced by Judy Holliday, who won the Tony award for her performance.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “The Party’s Over” in 1959 for the album Hometown, My Town. This song, as well as the entire album, was arranged by Robert Burns, who also arranged “Don’t Worry ‘Bout Me.” There is something in Burns’ work that I really respond to.
