Once in Every Life  Once in Every Life is an album by vocalist Johnny Hartman which was recorded in 1980 and released on the Bee Hive label. The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Johnny Hartman's next-to-last album finds the 57-year-old singer still in prime form. His rich baritone voice is joined by a sextet ... The ballads range from slow to a brighter medium-tempo pace, and Hartman shows that he still had it this late in his career".
