“For Once In My Life” (Tony Bennett) #91 11/11/1967

This song will forever and always be associated with Stevie Wonder, who would shortly turn it into a major hit. However, the tune floated around Motown for several years with no success, as a number of folks struck out. Enter Tony Bennett, whose ultra-slow version became a Top 10 easy listening hit. He recorded the song although his heart wasn't in it, as Tony really didn't care for contemporary music of the 60's. Perhaps he left his heart in San Francisco...
