If Tony Bennett did Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" it would be horrible, and if Green Day did this "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" it would also be horrible. The songs have absolutely nothing in common other than the title. Well, that and they're both very good in their own way. But please, for the musical gods' sake, let Tony be Tony and let Green Day be Green Day!
@danning1 Thanks, I have been tying to get this across ever since the first letter that brought up Green Day which I had never heard of and hope to never hear about them again.
@LN1992 I had never heard of your singer so I looked him up on Youtube. I don’t understand Spanish but he does have a good voice. But the song does not sound anything like Tony’s song. Maybe the words when translated mean the same but the music and interputation is different so I don’t know how you can compare them.
@LShackley In thoes days Mitch picked the songs But if you were one of his big stars like Frankie Laine was you had input and could talk him out of it. Tony didn't want to record the next song that was given to him but he was not yet a star so Mitch got his way. The song was "Cold Cold Heart" that big city Tony was to country. Rosemary Clooney was told she could sing the song he picked for her or go out the door. This was her first hit "Come Along To My House"
Why compare two songs just b/c of their name, that is SILLY. They are two TOTALLY different artist, and the songs were written 70yrs apart... Really? People come on. I don't hate the Green Day song, I really like it, BUT I love this song too, they are COMPLETELY different, don't compare them, PERIOD.
@thewordthatpierces Thanks, I've been trying to say this since I posted this song. I had never heard of Green Day
before people started writeing in and I don't think Green Day had ever heard of Tony's song when they recorded their recording. What people don't seem to understand is that there are a lot of songs with the same name that have nothing to do with each other. You can;t copywright a song title.
I'm only 18 so of course I heard of the green day song first, but when I heard this song OMG! I could listen to the Tony Bennett song 50 times every day and never have enough! It's such a beautiful song! It kicks Green Day's A**!
Green Day has a song that is also called "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" but it is lousy. This one was written in 1934 by Harry Warren and Al Dubin for the 1934 movie "Moulin Rouge" and recorded in the 1950s by both Tony Bennett and Nat King Cole. In my opinion this song is far superior to the Green Day song that has the same title.
@BW92116 If you have been reading the comments posted to this song you will note that I have been trying to make this point for months. Till I posted this song I had never even heard of Greenday or their song of the same name.
@greendaynonfiction WHO EVER SAID IT WAS, THIS SONG WAS WRITTEN OVER EIGHTY YEARS BEFORE THERE WAS A GREEN DAY AND THIS RECORDING WAS MADE A GOOD 60 YEARS BEFORE ANYONE EVER HEARD OF GREEN DAY AND IT ISN'T THE SAME SONG. I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF GREEN DAY BEFORE PEOPLE WHO CAN'T REMEMBER ANYTHING PAST THE 21ST CENTURY STARTED WRITING IN ABOUT THIS SONG.
@bramblehoney Yes I know who Robert Earl is, I lived in England for a number of years in the early Seventies. They played him quite a bit on the BBC and I liked his singing he had a Fifties Big Voice sound. I don't hink he was better than Tony's version but he was right up there.
must read this. once u have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this & did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 vidoe in 30 minutes the dead girl will aper in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy & paste to be saved
@concord1946 the difference between the charts of Billboard and cashbox back in 1950 is Billboard charted the individual recordings and Tony's recording did not make it. Cashbox added all the recordings of a song to show the popularity of the song.
And i dont give a shit if your an ignorant fucking cunt who cant tell the difference between two different songs. Honestly go fuck yourself, greenday fag.
@luigiandmario2 Bloody Korean...what do YOU know about songs written in English? This is 70 years old, yet legendary Amy Winehouse knew it was STILL cool to include it in her set. Can't imagine Green Day's tepid little indie ditty lastin half that.
Now listen to two different organists of old play it. First listen to the Wurlitzer electronic virtuoso John LaDuca "Mr. Fantastic" play a very interesting version on the YT upload:
Mr. Fantastic and the Wonderful World of Wurlitzer
It's about the 4th cut in. He used the 'pitch shift' lever located at the left edge of the volume pedal to mimic the violin bends on his Wurlitzer 4500 transistor organ.
Also see-
Brad Swanson and his Whispering Organ - Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Unquestionably this song is truly beautiful, Though i've been watching the video with all the wonderful pictures of Tony Bennett with much joy aswell :)
Only heard this song recently and I thought it sounded very much like a Scott Walker song. I'm a big fan of Scott Walker and now it seems I mught become a Tony Bennett fan too!
@booboyBL To tell you the truth I had never heard of Scott Walker. I looked him up on You Tube. He has a good voice but I didn't care for the songs he was singing.
Seriously, gtfo? If you dont have a proper taste of music or cant show some respect to this great artists who sung this wonderfull song you shouldnt be on this side of youtube.
Just found my audition song for show choir next year. C:
Oh, and to the adults that think that kids' music is obnoxious/awful, there are teens that appreciate the older music as well. I know that I, for one, wish I could have been in your generation to hear that kind of music all the time.
Lol! this song is beautiful im 17 and can appreciate it. would have liked this when i was 13 its epic to dance to with the lovely ladies. this guys lyrics kick ass.
@caryndenean17 Whow, now the song is on "Dancing With The Stars" after being on the "Apprentice". You know this song went 60 years almost unnoticed, now it seems everyone is using it.
But it was Recorded Just For Goodfellas" This is a Old Old Song that was written way back in the thirties and recorded by Tony several times in the fifties. The first time was in 1950. This recording I believe came from 1952.
@joeswfc2007 Tony didn't use the same song title, he didn't write the song, it was written way back in the thirties. He just recorded it in 1950. Green Day used the same title over two decades after tony's recording.
@delalyn This recording didn't chart because it those days the charts only went to the top 30 recordings. It got a lot of air time on the radio back then and I;m sure it would have been in the top 40 if they had gone that far. Yes Garber's was the only charted version of the song but his was more of a crooning rendition nothing like Bennett's.
I first heard this on Muppets Tonight on the Tony Bennett episode when Sal was rejected by Johnny Fiama. I love all types of music, but I hold a soft spot for 50s jazz/Ratpack.
I'm really enjoying hearing this on The Apprentice trailer - I was beginning to think the BBC only employed twits under the age of thirty who wouldn't recognise class or talent if it sat up and bit them on the bum. Much prefer the vitality and punchiness of this version to the smoothie one Tony B's done with dreary hanger-on Sting. Thank heavens for the recording process, eh? Think of what would pass us by otherwise. Nice to discover a hitherto unkown gem.
@badham31 that is exactly my story!!!!! I heard it on the apprentice advert and went to hear the full version on YOUTUBE. I had never heard this song before - and I'm 38 !!!!!!
i LOVE this song <3 thank you apprentice for putting this song in your advert! btw markalson1938 teenagers can still like music like this and not like 'kiddy Rock Junk' :) i know because i'm 14.
This version is currently being used to advertise the return of 'The Apprentice' on BBC1....Thats why I looked it up on youtube....Brilliant Tony Bennett..
Ditto, I always think of Jack Vettriano's dancing paintings when i hear this. Look at his paintings whilst listening to this and you'll know what i mean.
This song is actually from TONY's album named : TONY and is not the original version of this wonderful song. Boulevard was a medium hit for Tony in 1950.
as an artist, taking a classic and modernerizing it (i made that word up yo) is genious. my first composition was a varriation on satin doll, though you cant tell. or can you? idk but its on my channel.
This song is fantastic and much better than Green Day's song by the same name (in my humble oppinion, at least). Not to say I don't like the Green Day song, just saying that this better.
@NothingSpecail I don't know why anyone would try to compare
this song with a song by Rock Group over a generation later which the only thing they have in command is the name. But as you can see by the commits listed here there are many trying to do it.
look "punks" you are not anything else than a product of the music market, and if you want to talk about punk Green Day is way the last band to hear, sorry kids but that group of boys are selling a product and its cheap workless and very crapy. . . i like punk music, but REAL punk music, im a anarchist also and all that shit. . . guys this men knows how to sing and real talent is the same yesterday and today. . . please be smart please
You know what? You're a punk and how on EARTH can you stand this music. If you're wondering why I'm still here it's because I want to tell you how awful you and this music is. All else I want to say is that you're a punk, this music sucks and you suck!
@Gesni1 Dude get off the computer. Isn't the Greenday version an example of how much they sold out anyways? Greenday today is about as punk as Blink 182. You're probably thinking "wait blink 182 is punk.". If you are then you're more of an idiot.

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I wanted to check this out since I wanted to see if this relates to Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams but it's just a fucking cheap rip off of it. WHO AGREES?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Gesni1 Rip Off, This song was written and the recording was made several Decades before that punk group Green Day ever saw the light of day. SO HOW CAN IT BE A RIP OFF? So go somewhere else on You Tube and lisen to the PUNKS play with themself and leave the real music to the adults who still remember what music is supose to sound like.
@markalson1938 whoa whoa whoa, i agree this dude is pretty off, but punk is pretty good i hate it when ppl discriminate other genres, i like everything from mozart to manson
@markalson1938 man shut up u pussy ass bastard green day fucking rules the reason we dont like this kind of shit so-called music is cus we like cool stuff im 13 be-ach an this may have ben good music bak in the day wen u and jesus sung this together with the dinosaurs n shit but evryone from those old days but u r dead ur not an adult ur just a overgrown kid now shut ur old crusty lil mouth up cus the only thing u need it for is to kiss my ass an if u hate green day...well pucker up bitch!

now 4 some radio play eh?

I had not heard this song before the BBc Trailer for the Apprentice and the Greenday /Utada Hikaru version is a different song .

I first heard this on Muppets Tonight on the Tony Bennett episode when Sal was rejected by Johnny Fiama. I love all types of music, but I hold a soft spot for 50s jazz/Ratpack.

I'm really enjoying hearing this on The Apprentice trailer - I was beginning to think the BBC only employed twits under the age of thirty who wouldn't recognise class or talent if it sat up and bit them on the bum. Much prefer the vitality and punchiness of this version to the smoothie one Tony B's done with dreary hanger-on Sting. Thank heavens for the recording process, eh? Think of what would pass us by otherwise. Nice to discover a hitherto unkown gem.

Regardless of who wrote it, sang it, or gonna sing it.
Tony was the only artist to popularize it.
And is still the best version. Just ask Alan Sugar.
Now there's a man you can’t argue with.

Ditto, I always think of Jack Vettriano's dancing paintings when i hear this. Look at his paintings whilst listening to this and you'll know what i mean.
The two complement one another.

This song is actually from TONY's album named : TONY and is not the original version of this wonderful song. Boulevard was a medium hit for Tony in 1950.

as an artist, taking a classic and modernerizing it (i made that word up yo) is genious. my first composition was a varriation on satin doll, though you cant tell. or can you? idk but its on my channel.

1. This is not the song by greenday it is different
2.Why do you capatilise almost every word?
3.If you think this is the same song as the one greenday sings, you are deaf.
4.You have no idea what you are talking about.

@kendarycp Tony Bennett didn't write this song. Tony didn't write
songs he sang them. There used to be a difference. The song was written in 1933 by
Al Dubib and Harry Warren. It has been pointed out on this page many times Green Days song is a different song from Tony's.

This song is fantastic and much better than Green Day's song by the same name (in my humble oppinion, at least). Not to say I don't like the Green Day song, just saying that this better.

@NothingSpecail I don't know why anyone would try to compare
this song with a song by Rock Group over a generation later which the only thing they have in command is the name. But as you can see by the commits listed here there are many trying to do it.

You know what? You're a punk and how on EARTH can you stand this music. If you're wondering why I'm still here it's because I want to tell you how awful you and this music is. All else I want to say is that you're a punk, this music sucks and you suck!
Gesni1 1 year ago
@Gesni1 Dude get off the computer. Isn't the Greenday version an example of how much they sold out anyways? Greenday today is about as punk as Blink 182. You're probably thinking "wait blink 182 is punk.". If you are then you're more of an idiot.

I wanted to check this out since I wanted to see if this relates to Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams but it's just a fucking cheap rip off of it. WHO AGREES?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Gesni1 Rip Off, This song was written and the recording was made several Decades before that punk group Green Day ever saw the light of day. SO HOW CAN IT BE A RIP OFF? So go somewhere else on You Tube and lisen to the PUNKS play with themself and leave the real music to the adults who still remember what music is supose to sound like.
