The Art of Romance has a very special place in my heart. The release of this album came about the same time I bought my first iPod and I listened to this album daily, sometimes several times a day, for weeks. I fell in love. I have gifted the CD of The Art of Romance to several friends and all of them have wound up Tony Bennett fans. It’s a beautiful album that tells the story of a romance, from beginning to end. I also adore the photograph of Tony on the cover. And it’s full of great songs, such today’s “I Remember You.”

Your author loves this album so much. It’s the album that turned me from a fan of Tony’s to the blogger I am today, full of love and admiration for Tony Bennett. Whenever I want to “convert” someone to Tony, I give them this album. If you haven’t listened to it lately, I suggest that Valentine’s Day is a great day to give it a listen.
