The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

December 26, 2015 By Suzanne 1 Comment

Song of the Day: Time After Time

The song of the day for Sunday, December 27, 2015 is “Time After Time.”

About This Song

“Time After Time” was written in 1947 by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn for the movie It Happened in Brooklyn. The song was introduced by Frank Sinatra and was a major hit for him. This song has been widely recorded by many artists. In his fine book The Jazz Standards, Al Gioia quotes Jule Styne as saying “It’s a man’s song — ‘Time After Time.’ When a woman sings it, it is drained of all its power, so to speak. The girls can’t do it.” Well, tell that to Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, Anita O’Day and Cyndi Lauper.

About This Version

Tony Bennett has recorded this song several times; today’s version is from Bennett’s live 1964 concert at The Sahara. It was arranged by Ralph Sharon.
