The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

Tony Live! This Could Be the Start of Something Big

The song of the day for Saturday, March 21, 2020, is “This Could Be the Start of Something Big.”

About This Song

“This Could Be the Start of Something Big” was written in 1956 by multi-talented Steve Allen. Allen was the first host of The Tonight Show in 1953. He was also an accomplished pianist and singer and, as evidenced by this song, a fine composer as well.

About This Version

Tony Bennett recorded “This Could Be the Start of Something Big” on April 6, 1964, at The Sahara Hotel in the Congo Room. Frank Laico recorded the show, which was finally released in 2011 as part of the Complete Collection box set as Live at the Sahara: Las Vegas 1964.

“This Could Be the Start of Something Big,” as well as Live at the Sahara: Las Vegas 1964, is available from iTunes.
