About The Way You Look Tonight

“The Way You Look Tonight” is a song featured in the film Swing Time, originally performed by Fred Astaire. It won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1936. The song was written by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Dorothy Fields. Fields later remarked, “The first time Jerry played that melody for me I went out and started to cry. The release absolutely killed me. I couldn’t stop, it was so beautiful.”

The song was sung by John “Lucky” Garnett (played by Fred Astaire) while sitting at the piano. Penelope “Penny” Carroll (played by Ginger Rogers) was busy washing her hair in an adjacent room, and feeling anything but beautiful at the time.
Billie Holiday also recorded this song in 1936; her version can be found on several collections including The Quintessential Billie Holiday, Vol.2. This song was also popularly performed by Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Bublé, Joey McIntyre, Rod Stewart, Andy Williams, Ray Quinn, Kris Allen, Steve Tyrell, James Darren, Harry Connick, Jr., and as a duet between Bing Crosby and his wife Dixie Lee. The song was performed by The Lettermen and became their first hit in 1961 (Billboard #13 pop, #3 easy listening and #36 UK Singles). It has also been covered by Chad & Jeremy, Bryan Ferry and Maroon 5. The Lettermen’s and Chad & Jeremy’s versions were slowed-down, crooning versions, rather than the original dance tempo number as in the film the song was written for. The Lettermen’s version is, in fact, an MOR (middle-of-the-road) modification of a doo-wop/R&B version of the late 1950s version by the Jaguars. Olivia Newton-John covered the song on her 1989 lullaby album, Warm and Tender.
