Grammy Award winner, he has received awards ranging from "Record of the Year" to "Best Male Pop Vocalist" to "Best Male Traditional Pop Vocalist", and has even received high praise from another American music
legend and Tony's own revered idol, Frank Sinatra, who has openly stated that he considers Tony to be the best vocalist in the industry. Frank has also publicly stated that he considers Tony to be the best singer in the
business.
Tony Bennett's legendary voice has touched the hearts of many fans since his 1962 song "I Left My Heart In San Francisco", which was made famous by the comedian Bob Hobb, and he began recording in the 1950s.
Tony Bennett's legendary voice has touched the hearts of many music fans since he sang "Heart In San Francisco" in the 1950's and into the 21st century, recording over 100 albums, and even more amazingly, each
album is bound to win on the pop and jazz charts, especially the jazz charts, where Tony's jazz albums almost always hit the number one spot as soon as they were released, and then stayed on the charts for a long time,
and sometimes even had two albums in the top ten on the jazz charts at the same time. Tony Bennett's amazing and enduring charisma is evident in the fact that his music has always been in the realm of pop. His style
has always been a cross between pop and jazz, and his vocal style is heavily influenced by Frank Sinatra. His ability to control the emotion of a song is rarely matched, especially with his clear voice and delicate, melodic
soprano.
Throughout the six decades, Tony Bennett has broken through the boundaries of pop and jazz and sung a number of touching ballads about the love affairs of urban men and women. With sales of more than 50
million worldwide, Tony Bennett has won more than 15 Grammy Awards and two Emmy Awards. Lifetime membership in the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, Big Band And Jazz Hall of Fame, a star on the Hollywood
