Product Description

From Amazon.com

Tony Bennett has a typical lack of effusiveness about the kudos of his seven-decade career, but he does reportedly display an inscribed picture from a longtime colleague and fellow saloon singer in his Manhattan apartment. It reads: "To the best goddamned pop singer I've ever heard." It's signed "Frank Sinatra." But don't take the Chairman's word for it. Just listen as these two discs bound from one masterly performance to the next, documenting a career whose ups and downs--Bennett actually went long years without a record contract--belie a robust evolution of vocal strength and subtlety of phrasing. The arc of Bennett's art in the decade from "Cold Cold Heart" and "Rags to Riches" to "The Best Is Yet To Come" and his signature "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" is remarkable enough, but it just keeps getting better. When the singer's management shrewdly orchestrated his MTV-powered "comeback" in the late 1980s and '90s, Bennett delivered considerably more than mere hype. Indeed, the highlights of those efforts (a warm, semi-autobiographical collection of ballads; tributes to Sinatra, Astaire, Ellington, and the blues; the obligatory MTV Unplugged set) included here barely skim the surface and arguably warrant a double-disc collection all their own. Still, the 39 tracks here represent the best kind of anthology: one that leaves you craving more. --Jerry McCulley

He's "the best goddamned pop singer I've ever heard" too, and I'm in my early thirties. This is great music.

Ce commentaire est de: The Essential Tony Bennett (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
when i was a little kid, dad brought home a 78 record of tony singing "stranger in paradise" (which as i understand it, the melody is from rocmoninoff (sp) it was his favorite. tony was a staple in our home. as i grow older, well, it seemed he was talking to me. after being "dumped", there was the perfect "i wanna be around", and who amoung us men wouldn't like to be there when your ex lover gets what you got. (not really enought of those kinds of songs around) and the reason i bought this title "when joanna loved me" (just put in the woman's you loved once)....if your not moved by this one......buy this one, you need to....

Ce commentaire est de: The Essential Tony Bennett (Rm) (2CD) (Audio CD)
Having been Tony Bennett fans since were "kids" (for over 50 years), my husband and I agree that this is a great representation of Tony's musical career. Also, what a wonderful experience it is to hear excerpts from this album played on radio. Not only does this compilation please & delight the long-time fans, but it also introduces the younger generation to what good music really means. The tone & timbre of his voice, selection of the best tunes and superb delivery make this man a legend and an American Treasure.
