Johnny Hartman Once in Every Life LP  1981 BeeHive BH7012 Songs used in "Bridges of Madison County"
This quickly OOP final masterpiece from Hartman edges out Coltrane recording recording by a smidge
Once in Every Life is an album by vocalist Johnny Hartman which was recorded in 1980 and released on the Bee Hive label.

Four songs from the album, "Easy Living", "I See Your Face Before Me", "It Was Almost Like a Song" and "For All We Know", were used on the soundtrack of the 1995 movie The Bridges of Madison County, posthumously burnishing Hartman's exposure and reputation.

Johnny Hartman's next-to-last album (he made a record for Audiophile 12 days later) finds the 57-year-old singer still in prime form. His rich baritone voice is joined by a sextet also including Frank Wess (on tenor and flute), trumpeter Joe Wilder and pianist Billy Taylor. The ballads range from slow to a brighter medium-tempo pace, and Hartman (particularly on such tunes as "Easy Living," "Wave" and "I Could Write a Book") shows that he still had it this late in his career.
