TONY BENNETT SINGS A POIGNANT SONG OF LOSS " WHERE DO YOU START ?"

Tony Bennett sings a poignant song of loss " Where Do You Start ?"

Johnny Mandel. the composer of " The Shadow of Your Smile" and " Emily" collaborated with Allan and Marilyn Bergman to create a wonderful and poignant song called " Where Do You Start ?"

It deals with the aftermath of a romantic relationship and decisions about deciding whose books are yours and mine, the fact that their lives have been tangled in a vine that intertwine and ultimately that " There will always be a part of me that stays in love with you."  They have agreed to part but somehow will always be connected.
Bennett sings with such sincerity and conviction the song surely must have made a connection with his own personal life.
The musical arrangement is also by composer Mandel, a master of wonderful melodies and entrancing harmony.
