"Here's To Life" is a song with music by Artie Butler, an American composer born in 1942, and lyrics by Phyllis Molinary, an American writer born in 1938 who died in 2011. Butler and Molinary are credited together as the writers of the work, which is catalogued under the song's title. The music and the words were therefore written by two different people.
The earliest recorded version listed is by Shirley Horn, released in 1992 on the Verve album Here's to Life, which gave the work its first documented recording. Numerous other artists have recorded the song since then. Musicians who want a reference point for the tune can begin with Horn's version, which is the earliest recording documented for it.
