Editorial Reviews
Amazon.co.uk Review
Dubbed the "best singer in the in the business" by two of the 20th century's greatest crooners--Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra--Tony Bennet more than deserves this accolade. With his exquisite tone and superlative phrasing Tony Bennet has straddled the twin worlds of jazz virtuosity and showbiz glitz since the 1950s, having enjoyed a resurgence with the MTV generation in the mid 1990s boosted, no doubt, by the lounge culture Ratpack revival. This collection serves as a useful retrospective of his career, bringing his early hits together with his later collaborations with kd lang and Elvis Costello. --F.B.Hawkes
Customer Reviews
Terrific Tony
A classic Tony Bennett album has to be among any collection of the best singers of the second half of the 20th century. His definitive versions of so many songs, especially Stranger in Paradise and I Left My Heart in San Francisco, are part of the memories of practically anyone born before 1950. This album brings together the favourites and is one I shall keep in the car to make every journey that bit pleasanter.
