The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

March 15, 2013 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: The Rules of The Road

The song of the day for Friday, March 15, 2013 is The Rules Of The Road.

About This Song

While this song is not from a musical, it was written by great Broadway and songwriting team of Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh in 1961.

About This Version

This version of Rules Of The Road is from Bennett’s wonderful 1962 Carnegie Hall concert. I am also a fan of the version from the 1964 Live At The Sahara show; while available on iTunes, this recording is not available on Spotify.

Mr. Bennett has recorded many of Cy Coleman’s songs. As Coleman was a jazz performer as well as a composer, I think his music speaks well to Bennett’s musical tastes.

The Rules Of The Road - Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - June 1962
