Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. _ _
Anthony _ DePenetrativ.
Tony Bennett.
Let's hear it for him.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ Tony Bennett's number one hit, _ _ 1951, Because of You.
Beautiful.
And a little known fact, _ _ it was written by Oscar _ Hammerstein's son, Arthur Hammerstein, in _ 1940.
_ _ And he also wrote it along with a guy named Dudley Wilkinson.
But nobody knows really who did the music and who did the lyrics.
And, you know, they might have both contributed to both the music and the lyrics.
And from what I've been reading, nobody really knows.
But _ anyway, I think it's Arthur Hammerstein's _ _ major, _ he did the major work in it, I think, from what I read anyway.
But a beautiful tune, beautiful.
Tony Bennett, he did us right. _
