About This Version

I am not sure, but I think that this recording of “Love Scene” by Tony Bennett may be the first recording of this song. Ellington recorded this song in 1966 with Arthur Fiedler and The Boston Pops Orchestra (I used to love to watch their specials on PBS), but I cannot locate references to any other recording of this song.

“Love Scene,” as well as If I Ruled The World: Songs for the Jet Set, is available from iTunes.
