The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

September 15, 2015 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Song of the Day: The Party’s Over

The song of the day for Tuesday, September 15, 2015 is “The Party’s Over.”

About This Song

Today’s song was composed by Jule Styne with lyrics by Adolph Green and Betty Comden. “The Party’s Over” is one of the hit songs from the 1956 musical Bells Are Ringing. The song was introduced by Judy Holliday, who won the Tony award for her performance.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “The Party’s Over” on November 4, 1958 for one of my favorite of his albums: Hometown, My Town. The arrangement is by Ralph Burns. This album features a fine jazz band, including Milt Hinton on bass and Al Cohn on tenor sax.
