Tony Bennett (born August 3, 1926) is an American popular music, standards, and jazz singer who is widely considered to be one of the best interpretative singers in these genres. After having achieved artistic and commercial success in the 1950s and early 1960s, his career suffered an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era. However, Bennett staged a remarkable comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s, expanding his audience to a younger generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer in the 2000s. Tony Bennett is also a serious and accomplished painter.

Yesterday I Heard the Rain
Tony Bennett
Written by Gene Lees and Armando Manzanero
Apparently never charted by anyone but it remains a nice song that was put on LP's by
everyone from Vicki Carr, Roy Clark, and Shirley Bassey to Perry Como, Percy Faith and
Frank Sinatra
Yesterday I heard the rain whispering your name
Asking where you'd gone
It fell softly from the clouds on the silent crowds
As I wandered on
Out of doorways black umbrellas came to pursue me
Faceless people as they passed were looking through me
No one knew me
Yesterday I shut my eyes, face-up to the skies
Drinking in the rain
But your image still was there floating in the air
Brighter than a flame
Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name
Yesterday I saw a city full of shadows without pity
And I heard the steady rain whispering your name
Whispering your name
