Tonight! (West Side Story) - Three Fantastic Versions! 1961 {HD} - Song Info Below - Titles & Artist

"Tonight" is a popular song with music written by Leonard Bernstein and the lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and was published in 1956.

It was introduced in the Broadway musical West Side Story. The movie version, featuring vocals by Marni Nixon (dubbing Natalie Wood) and Jimmy Bryant (dubbingRichard Beymer), finished at #59 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema.

The song was revived in 1961 on single records in versions by Ferrante & Teicher (#8 pop, #2 easy listening). Many of the pieces in "West Side Story" experiment with different melodic tricks. This song is notable for its prominent perfect fourth intervals, and a theme that starts on a pentatonic scale but develops into a western key. - Wikipedia
