Interesting facts and trivia about Here's to You (From "Sacco e Vanzetti"). By Songfacts®.

This song appears at the end of the 1971 Italian film Sacco e Vanzetti which was released in English as Sacco & Vanzetti. The film tells the story of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, Italian immigrants living in Massachusetts when two men were killed in a 1920 armed robbery. They were arrested for the crime but vehemently pleaded their innocence, drawing worldwide attention as their case dragged on for years, coming to an end when they were executed in 1927. Long after their death, their true-crime story was much discussed, with many believing the evidence implicated them in the crime, and many others believing they were wrongly convicted because of their status as immigrants and anarchists. Their supporters kept their case in the news; in 1945 Woody Guthrie released an album called Ballads Of Sacco & Vanzetti on their behalf. The 1971 movie also makes the case for their innocence.

As she did with all of the Sacco & Vanzetti soundtrack, Joan Baez wrote "Here's To You" with the lauded composer Ennio Morricone. The song concludes the film with a clear statement, repeating the same stanza several times: Here's to you, Nicola and Bart Rest forever here in our hearts The last and final moment is yours That agony is your triumph

Surprisingly, "Here's To You" has been used outside of the biopic for which it was written. It appears in the 2014 movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and in two releases of the video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008) and Ground Zeroes (2014).
