BIOGRAPHY
Often called the singer’s singer, Tony Bennett’s warm, husky tenor has also won millions of admiring fans, many of whom weren’t born back in the ‘50s when Tony began his career. Tony’s first string...

Then, in 1962, Bennett introduced "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," a ballad written by two unknowns, George Cory and Douglass Cross. It became Bennett's signature song and the single won a Grammy for Record of the Year and Best Solo Vocal Performance, Male. Bennett's next album, I Wanna Be Around, hit the Top Five, and both its title track and "The Good Life," made it into the Top Twenty. For the next three years, Bennett consistently released hits like, "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)" (from The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd) and "If I Ruled the World" (from the musical Pickwick). The ‘70s were a quieter decade, but from the mid-'80s on, he achieved renewed popularity as an artist whose soulful voice and depth of emotion spoke to audiences of every age. In 1986, he released The Art of Excellence, his first chart album in 14 years. The ‘90s showed the master at the height of his powers with two gold albums, Perfectly Frank (a tribute to Frank Sinatra) and Steppin' Out (a tribute to Fred Astaire), winning back-to-back Grammys for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance. 1994's MTV Unplugged CD, featuring Elvis Costello and k.d. lang, went platinum and picked up a Grammy for Album of the Year. Bennett also took home Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance awards for Here's to the Ladies (1995) and On Holiday: A Tribute to Billie Holiday (1997). Over the years, “the best singer in the business” (according to Frank Sinatra) has won 12 Grammys, including a Grammy lifetime Achievement Award. It doesn’t get better than that. |
