Song of the Day: I’ve Got Your Number

The song of the day for Thursday, August 22, 2013 is “I’ve Got Your Number.”

About This Song

Cy Coleman and Carolyn Leigh wrote “I’ve Got Your Number” in 1962 for the musical Little Me, starring Sid Caesar and Virginia Martin, who introduced this song.

About This Version

“I’ve Got Your Number” is from Tony Bennett’s 1963 album I Wanna Be Around. The song was arranged by Marty Manning with a great big band sound … the trombones at the beginning get me each and every time I listen to this song. The album was produced by Ernie Altschuler.

Today’s version is by request from this blog’s earliest and most devoted fan. Nick, you take care of yourself!

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded I’ve Got Your Number in 1962 for his album I Wanna Be Around. This album is probably best known for the title song and The Good Life. The entire album is wonderful though and I encourage you find some time to give it a listen. It’s got that classic early 1960s arrangement by Marty Manning with a very fine orchestra. The trombone gets me every time. And Mr. Bennett is quite perfect. As usual.
