Today’s version comes from Bennett’s 1994 MTV Unplugged concert. Tony Bennett first recorded this song for his 1990 album Astoria.

Benedetto loves to sing this song about his hometown! I have heard him sing it live and felt that he brought joy to everyone hearing him sing it with love and respect. Tony breathed new life into the song and made it sound as if it was written only for him! Benedetto is a one of a kind entertainer.
