This is a classic version of a classic song.

Bill Evans' work on the piano makes the great treatment by Tony Bennet move this version into the marvelous. What a satisfying treat!

@KentuckyJet you're right no comparison. I do love Tony Bennett's version as well. However, this song is most identified with AW. Actually they both recorded this around 62-63. But, AW version seemed to be most popular as far a record sales. It is also the one I most remember from long ago. Perry Como did a version as well. I agree with you that TB has a great instrument...one of a kind! He's still goin too...

@Geraldolini ridiculous. AW recorded it with a full orchestra. this man sings it with just a piano! Its ridiculous to compare. an orchestra can hide a singers flaws and vulnerabilities. TB had no one to provide cover and he came through in great fashion.

great duo as always.nice posting.

The Days of wine and roses laugh and runaway like a child a play,
through the meadowland toward a closing door,
a door marked "Nevermore" that wasn't there before.
The lonely night discloses just a passing breeze filled with memories
of the golden smile that introduced me to the Days of Wine and Roses and you.

Love it!

Tony Bennett was a muscian who's instrument was his voice and on the occassions that I saw him live he always seemed to acknowledge himself as part of a musical team.
His admiration for Bill Evens was always patently obvious and they made a great musical team.
Many of todays so called 'Stars' could learn a tremendous amount from him.
