Many people don’t know the history behind this song, as it’s almost 100 years old! Iconic singers such as Rod Stewart, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Buble have all put their own spin on this classic song. Way back in 1924, the song was created by two musicians.

Isham Jones wrote the music, while Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics. Although the song was written almost ten years prior, the first major recording wasn’t until 1936 by Ruth Etting to be used in the film “Melody In May.”

Since then, the popularity of the song has expanded greatly to all countries in the world. It’s one of those songs that makes every musician want to cover it, putting their own twist on a classic. While each artist surely brings something new to the old tune, Tony and Carrie performed it in a way that has never been done before.

Set to perform in a dimly lit room, the pair belted out the tune with style and grace. A few beautiful round bulbs lit up the scene as both Carrie and Tony gave new life to the old song. The styles of their voices blended together in a beautiful way.

Carrie’s country roots meshed wonderfully with Tony’s tone, and the end result of the track was perfect from an artistic standpoint. Once the tune was over, the lights dimmed further and the music faded away. The power of their song sets in once you hear those final chords.

It’s not often that two powerhouse musicians from different genres come together to sing duets like this. What do you think about this duet? If you loved Tony and Carrie’s rendition, then send it to your friends and family as well!
