The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

Quote of the Day

Ralph Burns and I got together again to do some singles, including “Smile,” and for our next album we changed gears again. Instead of the lush, ballad-style arrangements we had used on Hometown, My Town, we switched to a cookin’ jazz sound. The album is called My Heart Sings, and I simple love Ralph’s writing on this one. It’s really beautiful music.
