The Way You Look Tonight
Dorothy Fields’ earliest release of “The Way You Look Tonight” on file came out in 1998. Dorothy Fields shares the writing credit with Jerome Kern. The earliest release on file is Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra’s, from 1936. Also recorded by Peggy Lee sings with Benny Goodman And His Sextet (released 1958), Frank Sinatra (released 1944) and Oscar Peterson (released 1957), among 538 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz.
Fred Astaire put out his take in 1953, and Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson had it on record before him, so this one gets around. Play it next to the recording under Fields' own name from 1998 and hear the song come home.
