No one in popular American music has recorded for so long and at such a high level of excellence than Tony Bennett. In the last ten years alone he has sold ten million records. Bennett has received 18 Grammy Awards — including a 1995 Grammy for Record of the Year for his “MTV Unplugged” CD which introduced this American master to a whole new generation.
Tony Bennett is one of a handful of artists to have new albums charting in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, and now in the first two decades of the 21st century. He has introduced a multitude of songs that have since become standards for pop music, and he has toured the world to sold-out audiences garnering rave reviews whenever he performs.
Last year, he collaborated with Lady Gaga on a jazz album titled, Cheek to Cheek. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 making Bennett, at the age of 88, the oldest artist to have a #1 album. The album later won a Grammy in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal category.
Bennett was named a Kennedy Center Honoree in 2005, an NEA Jazz Master in 2006, a Citizen of the World award from the United Nations and a Billboard Magazine Century Award in honor of his outstanding contributions to music.
