The Quiz: According to a famous song, in what city did Tony Bennett leave his heart?
San Francisco
Miami
Kansas City
Salt Lake City
Though “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” became Tony Bennett’s signature song, it was written in 1953 by two then-unknown songwriters — George C. Cory Jr. and Douglass Cross — for an opera singer named Claramae Turner. Bennett discovered the song in 1961 and performed it for the first time at the Fairmont Hotel in Nob Hill, crooning, “The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay / The glory that was Rome is of another day / I’ve been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan / I’m going home to my city by the bay.” His now-iconic version, recorded in 1962, went on to win a Grammy for Record of the Year.
The correct answer to this quiz is San Francisco.
