I Left My Heart...

In this edition of Play It Friday, love for Tony Bennett pours out ...in San Francisco.

Other signature songs by Tony Bennett include "The Way You Look Tonight," "The Best Is Yet to Come," "Cheek to Cheek," "Fly Me to the Moon,"  "My Foolish Heart," and many more.

Let's focus on my personal favorite - "The Way You Look Tonight"

"The Way You Look Tonight" was originally released in August 1936 for the film Swing Time - performed by Fred Astaire, composed by Jerome Kern, and lyrics written by Dorothy Fields.  Honor - Academy Award for Best Original Song (1936).

Over time, versions of the song paved the way for continued and growing love and success. 

Frank Sinatra offers the most well-known cover garnering silver certification in the UK...

...and then there is Tony Bennett.  He is now familiar on Set List so consider the other hand - the ultimate singer in the rat pack.
