  • Thanks for this, they are so wonderful together! Your slideshow is perfect too.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • Just perfect

  • @winelight1 ... great place canberra , used to live and work there ! ... this song won the eurovision contest in 1962 ! ! ! ! ... it has a haunting spiritual quality to it ! liked hong kong too ! !

  • @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!

    

  • Beautiful and gorgeous.

    It brings my beautiful memory while I was in Canberra and I listent this song every night.

    Greeting from Hong Kong :)
