The Year of Tony Bennett

An Appreciation of the Art and Music of Tony Bennett

August 3, 2019 By Suzanne Leave a Comment

Playlist of the Week: Happy Birthday, Tony!

The playlist for the week of August 4, 2019, is a continuation of our celebration of Tony’s 93rd birthday–Happy Birthday, Tony!

For this playlist, I chose fifteen recordings that were either really great songs or recordings that I really, really like. I hope you like it too.

Happy Birthday, Tony!
