The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

December 19, 2018 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: Winter Wonderland

The song of the day for Thursday, December 20, 2018, is “Winter Wonderland.”
Today is the seventh day of The Twelve Days of a Tony Bennett Christmas.

About This Song

“Winter Wonderland” was written in 1934 by Felix Barnard and Phillip Smith. Smith, the lyricist, wrote this song after a snowfall covered his hometown of Honesdale, Pennsylvania. It is, of course, a beloved holiday song, even though the lyrics do not explicitly mention Christmas.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded this version of “Winter Wonderland” in 1968 for the album Snowfall: The Tony Bennett Christmas Album and features a lovely arrangement by Robert Farnon.
