Tony Bennett performing in Singapore tonight!


American music veteran Tony Bennett would be playing a concert here this evening (11 Sep) at the The Star Performing Arts Centre. Audience tonight will have a chance to savour hits from his more than 50-year career.  I am looking forward to hearing "I left my heart in San Francisco", "Because of you" and "Rags to Riches".

Tony Bennett has received seventeen Grammy Awards, including a 1995 Grammy for Record of the Year for his “MTV Unplugged” CD and the prestigious Grammy Lifetime Award.  He has managed to reach out to younger audience through the years.



His latest album Duets 2, debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart making him the oldest artist to debut at number 1 on that chart.  He was probably the last artist to collaborate with the late Amy Winehouse before she passed away.

The 87-year-old Tony Bennett will be joined by his daughter, jazz singer Anthonia Bennett, in this concert.
