The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

December 15, 2013 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

By Special Request: Danny Boy

I am more than happy to fulfill a special request by a very special friend to hear Tony Bennett’s exquisite recording of “Danny Boy.”

This song was her late father’s favorite song. If he were still alive, today would be his birthday.

Danny Boy

Listen to Danny Boy on Spotify. Tony Bennett · Song · 2012.

The first time I heard this recording, I actually wept.

In 1964, Tony Bennett recorded several songs, including “Danny Boy,” in a session with Herbie Hancock on piano, Stan Getz on tenor sax, Ron Carter on bass and Elvin Jones on drums. All of the songs they recorded that are collected on Volume 1 of Rarities, Outtakes and Other Delights are amazing. Really, really amazing.
