Once in Every Life is an album by vocalist Johnny Hartman which was recorded in 1980 and released on the Bee Hive label.[1][2][3]

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.

AllMusic4.5/5 stars[4]

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".[4]
