| | Tony Bennett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Tony Bennett (born August 3, 1926) is an American popular music, standards, and jazz singer who is widely considered to be one of the best interpretive singers in these genres. | | | Unlike Bennett's other early hits, this was an up-tempo big band number with a bold, brassy sound and a double tango in the instrumental break; it topped the charts for eight weeks. | | | Bennett's following album, I Wanna Be Around (1963) was also a top 5 success, with the title track and "The Good Life" each reaching the top 20 of the pop singles chart and the top 10 of the Adult Contemporary chart. |

| | NPR's Jazz Profiles: Tony Bennett |
| | Tony produced many hits for the Columbia label, but then the music industry started to shift with the changing musical trends. | | | While Bennett was signing on Columbia Records' esteemed roster, superstar crooner Frank Sinatra was just leaving the label due to the ever-popular "creative differences." A young, impressionable Bennett thought Columbia was looking for another Sinatra, but he was quickly advised to stop imitating "Old Blue Eyes" and develop a style of his own. | | | Tony's 1957 album, Beat of My Heart, changed his sound forever. |

| | Bennett, however, was stuck at Columbia, laboring under the aesthetic guidance of the man who would later bring us "Sing Along With Mitch." He had to fight all the way for the right to do the sort of jazz-oriented records he longed to record. | | | Bennett that what he's doing is "adult" music. | | | Bennett, of course, wasn't the only victim: It wasn't until Frank Sinatra escaped Columbia Records and producer Mitch Miller that he was able to flower into the mature artist of the "hat years" at Capitol. |

| | Ink 19 :: Tony Bennett |
| | Tony Bennett has already had one of the most distinct, long-lived and successful careers in music, but what we have here is a perfectly comfy but unnecessary collection. | | | Tony Bennett, has, of course, sung many songs from the “Great American Songbook.” From his signature piece, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” to “Steppin’ Out With My Baby,” to “For Once in My Life.” Trouble is, big as it is, eventually the songbook runs out of pages. | | | No less an authority than Sinatra himself sung Bennett's praises, and one likes to think "The Chairman" would be pleased at his friend's status as the Last Man Standing. |

| | Sinatra referred to Tony Bennett as the 'best singer in the business', and after listening to many of Tony's albums it is hard to argue. | | | Bennett's "Greatest Hits" album has some nice tunes like "San Francisco" and "I Wanna Be Around," but many of the other selections feature Bennett's typical screaming at the top of his lungs even when the tune does not call for such volume and vocal histrionics. | | | Bennett likes to think of himself as a great "jazz singer" who performs the compositions of Jewish-American songwriters and black orchestra leaders. |

Lang?s voice doesn?t impress me that much.) That said, someone recently loaned me the cd of Louis Armstrong singing the same songs and it had a totally different feel. |
