The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

September 28, 2020 By Suzanne 1 Comment

Song of the Day: They Can’t Take That Away From Me

The song of the day for Tuesday, September 29, 2020, is “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.”

About This Song

This song was written by George and Ira Gershwin for the 1937 Fred Astaire – Ginger Rodgers movie Shall We Dance. Unlike most songs that Astaire introduced in his films, there was no dance number associated with “They Can’t Take That Away From Me.” It is one of the Gershwin’s finest love songs. George Gershwin died just two months after this film was released.

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Diana Krall recorded “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” for their 2018 album Love Is Here To Stay. The album was arranged by Bill Charlap.

“They Can’t Take That Away From Me,” as well as Love Is Apple Music, is available from Apple Music.
