Song of the Day: ‘S Wonderful

The song of the day for Sunday, February 10, 2019, is “‘S Wonderful.”

“‘S Wonderful” was written in 1927 by George and Ira Gershwin for the 1927 musical Funny Face, where it was introduced by Adele Astaire (Fred’s sister) and Allen Kearns.

About Today

Today’s recording of “‘S Wonderful” from Love is Here to Stay is nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for the 2019 Grammy award. The competition is tough and includes “Shallow” from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper from their film A Star is Born. I know who I’m pulling for!

Song of the Day: All I Want For Christmas Is You / A Christmas Love Song

On the Eleventh Day of Tony Bennett Christmas, Monday, December 24, 2012, the song of the day is All I Want For Christmas Is You.

About All I Want For Christmas Is You

This is not the Mariah Carey Love Actually song. Nor is it the Vince Vance and the Valiants song from 1993 or the song written by A.C. Williams and sung by Carla Thomas.

This is, instead, the elegant song with music by Johnny Mandel and lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman.  It often goes by the name A Christmas Love Song.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded this song for the 2008 A Swingin’ Christmas album.

All I Want for Christmas Is You
