All Of A Sudden My Heart Sings is a romantic pop standard about the moment a memory makes the heart sing. It was written in 1944 by Jean Blanvillain (Jamblin) with lyrics by Harold Rome and Henri Laurent Herpin, and was first performed by Hildegarde in 1944, with Kathryn Grayson introducing it in the 1945 film Anchors Aweigh. The tune has been recorded by several artists, including Paul Anka in 1959 and The Lettermen in 1969. Tony Bennett recorded a notable version on April 4, 1961 for his album My Heart Sings, with Ralph Burns arranging and conducting the orchestra. The song sits in the pop and easy listening vein, and Bennett’s My Heart Sings remains a key entry in his catalog.
