"The Good Life" (originally "La Belle Vie" in French)is a popular song by Sacha Distel and Jack Reardon , published in 1962.
The song is best known in the English-speaking world as a 1963 recording by Tony Bennett. He gained a number 18 hit on the U.S. pop singles chart with it; it also became one of his rarer UK hits, making it to number 27 there. "The Good Life" became one of Bennett's staple songs, and was featured on two of his top-selling albums, 1994's ' and 2006's ', the latter featuring Billy Joel. Bennett also named his 1998 autobiography after the song. The song was "revived" as a 2007 pet food jingle.
