Song of the Day: The Moment Of Truth

The song of the day for Thursday, March 26, 2026, is “The Moment Of Truth.”

About This Song

“The Moment Of Truth” was written in 1963 by Tex Satterwhite and Frank Scott. It has also been recorded by Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “The Moment Of Truth” on April 24, 1963, for his album This Is All I Ask. Ralph Burns wrote the arrangement and conducted the big band.

This recording was also released on the 1996 CD re-release of I Wanna Be Around.

“The Moment Of Truth,” as well as This Is All I Ask, is available on Apple Music.

I found a terrific video of Tony Bennett singing “The Moment Of Truth” on The Ed Sullivan Show on November 24, 1964. Instead of singing on the main stage, Bennett chose to record from wherever the band was instead. The result was fantastic.
