There's nothing like it anywhere else.

Wow! A great past moment, with the 'iconic' Tony Bennett singing his 'signature song'. 'I left My Heart In San Francisco' (I probably saw that performance live on the Sullivan Show that Sunday when I was teen then.) With all the confusion in our society today in places like San Fran., I can only hope that the 'spirit' of this song, about a great American city, will infuse it with hope of its former beauty and glory. And BTW, great job, Mr. Bennett.

Who is the lyricist & composer of this song?

[@michaeltuz608]

@@idaisabellefindler9086 _I Left My Heart in San Francisco_ was written in 1953 by aspiring song writers George Cory (music) and Douglass Cross(lyrics). After eight years of being rejected by numerous artists, the song finally came to the attention of Tony Bennett in 1961. Bennett recorded it in '62, and the rest is history. It was Cory & Cross' only commercial success... but _what_ a success!

[@kevincallaghan326]

Agreed. It is maybe the best city tribute song in popular music as well as one of the most romantic.

[@waldolydecker8118]
