The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

Quote of the Day

I included a song on that album [The Art of Excellence] called “How Do You Keep the Music Playing” by Alan and Marilyn Bergman, which I had first heard Sinatra sing. One night I went to see Frank perform at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles, I had no idea he knew I was there, but right after he finished singing the song, he said to me, in full view of thousands of people, “Tony! You should sing this song!” How could I refuse?
