Tony Bennett is one of a handful of artists to have new albums charting in every decade for the past 50 years - and he’s still going strong. He introduced a multitude of songs into the great American Songbook that have since become standards for pop music. He has toured the world to sold-out audiences with rave reviews whenever he performs. Bennett re-signed with Columbia Records in 1986 and released the critically acclaimed The Art Of Excellence. Since his 1991 show-stopping performance at the Grammy Awards of "When Do the Bells Ring for Me" from his Astoria album, he has received a string of Grammy Awards for releases including Steppin' Out, Perfectly Frank, and MTV Unplugged. In celebration of his unparalleled contributions to popular music with worldwide record sales of over 30 million, Columbia/Legacy assembled Forty Years: the Artistry of Tony Bennett.
In the 1950's, thousands of screaming bobby-soxers surrounded the Paramount Theatre in New York, held back only by police barricades, to see their singing idol Tony Bennett. Today the children and grandchildren of those fans are enjoying the same experience. Perhaps what sums up Tony's legacy and longevity best was the observation The New York Times made in a review of MTV Unplugged: "What accounts for the Bennett magic? Artistry certainly. The repertory is indeed classic - but perhaps more important is his ability to convey a sense of joy, of utter satisfaction, in what he is doing." |
