Tony Bennett - It Had To Be You Lyrics
It seems like dreams like I’ve always had
Could be, should be, makin’ me glad
Why am I blue?
Its up to you to explain
I’m thinking maybe baby I’ll go away
“Its you that I need”
Maybe you’ll be pleading in vain
It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be blue, could make me be true
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you
Some others I've seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Tony Bennett It Had To Be You Comments
In 1924 only Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue was more popular than this Jones and Kahn song and both are finally in the public domain as of January, 2020 (although this recording could still be copyright protected). Actually there were many hit songs created in Chicago in 1924 including the first boogie woogie song and the first hit to be promoted by radio, It Ain't Goin' Rain No Mo'. For more information, read Chicago's Music Industry
The ultimate crooner and a delightful man.
God, what a Singer!
Best versions of this amazing song:
1. Billie Holiday
2. Tony Bennett
3. Ella Fitzgerald
A joy of a man.
As always, with the greats (Frank, Nat, Patsy , Dean and on) less is more...just a guitar, a piano, and maybe a snare and bass fiddle, we get the essence and the glory of their voice
I wandered around
and finally found
the somebody who
could make me be blue
could make me be true
and even be glad
just to be sad
thinking of you...
some others I’ve seen
might never be mean
might never be cross
or try to be boss,
but they wouldn’t do...
for nobody else gave me a thrill
with all your faults I love you still...
it had to be you,
wonderful you...
It had to be you.
We suspect this version of the song was arranged by Bennett's then-pianist Ralph Sharon. Interesting to compare it with the later version by Lee Musiker.
Tony Bennett, maravilhoso como sempre.
When I was a kid my mom sang this song often.
This is the first Time that Internet beats the Vinyl because i have a compilation of old Music in One LP And this song is in it but not the beggining of the song
When I was a child I used to hear my father sing this song often to my mother...
Tony, Tony, Tony._.
Thank you so much... I love this song dedicated to Tami 2/22/66-9/2/17
i miss the old days...now its just mumble rap and pop. im too old for that...
and its all crap-rap
who the fuck hits thumbs down...
There are no crooners any more on this level.
It had to be you....
We were trying to guess how old Tony was at the time he recorded this? Judging from the picture, and his voice, we'd guess maybe around 40? Interestingly, the song was sung at a much faster tempo early on (was published in 1924.)
Tony is so smooth, I love that guy! Thank you, I will share on G+.
after harry connick did it they added to what the original song lyrics were
harry connick jr version i think was perfect to how the original artist did it
Arranjo de Ray Conniff.
I think this is the best version of this great song. Tony was smart enough to often keep the background music simple and let his amazing voice articulate the beautiful lyrics.
fabulous !
One of my all time favorites... Great version - and Tony is in his prime!
beautiful
SUBLIME
EXCELENTE.NOTA 10.
a classic song by the best of the best!

...magico...! interpretazione... arrangiamenti... TUTTO...! Memorabile esecuzione di un brano meraviglioso...
The "True & Blue" Lyrics are the wrong way around!

+Terence Molloy (tel.) yeah they do. Different tempo, different rhythm, but theres wonderful music in ever generation.

Nice and easy does it !
Thanks
I meant to say "his phrasing". Sorry.
I have adored Tony Bennett since I saw him in a recording studio at Columbia. His phrashing is masterful along with a wonderful voice.
Thank you Tony and God Bless you.
What a great singer!
Awesome***********
It's in G
б р а в о........
Wonderful rendition!
Tony Benefit benefits us all.
Actually what ever you feel playing it in, singers are such divas! :D As a jazz pianist you always have to transpose it anyway! ;P
What's the first note the bass plays :D?
