September 28, 2023 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: You’re Nearer

The song of the day for Friday, September 29, 2023, is “You’re Nearer.”

About This Song

Richard Rodgers and Larry Hart wrote “You’re Nearer” for the 1940 movie version of Too Many Girls. It’s one of their loveliest and most elegant love songs. Richard Rodgers said that “Tony’s recording of ‘You’re Nearer’ makes me extremely happy and would affect Larry Hart the same way if he could hear it.”

About This Version

Tony Bennett and Bill Evans recorded “You’re Nearer” in September 1976 for their second album Together Again, released in 1977.

“You’re Nearer,” as well as Together Again, is available on Apple Music.
