Tony Bennet had the most successful version of this song; on September 8th, 1951 it reached #1 {for 8 weeks} on Billboard's Best Sellers chart. Ironically it would be knocked out of the top spot by Tony Bennett himself with "Cold, Cold Heart".
Tony Bennett's version was ranked No. 2 on Billboard's Year-End Top 30 Singles of 1951 chart
This record was Tony Bennett's debut on the Billboard charts.
Other charted versions; Johnny Desmond {#17}, Tab Smith {#20), & Chris Montez {#71}
Back in 1951 Tony Bennett was about to be dropped by his record company, then someone suggested he record "Because of You," a song written by Arthur Hammerstein and Dudley Wilkinson in 1940. Recorded in April, 1951 at Columbia Records, it became his first major hit, reaching number one on Billboard magazine's charts and staying there for 10 weeks! A true miracle, and it is appropriately presented so beautifully here.
Take inspiration when things look bad because everything is possible!
K.D. Lang has such a beautiful voice. Where is she keeping herself these days? WOW

Memories of joy and sadness. A lost love. If a heart could cry, mine could fill an ocean.
