Performer: Tony Bennett
Artist: Ralph Sharon Trio Engineer: Dick Lewzey Producer: Danny Bennett Distributor: Sony Music Distribution ( Notes: 3 LPs on 3 CDs: I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO (1962)/THE ART OF EXCELLENCE (1986)/ PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST (1989). Personnel: Tony Bennett (vocals); Ralph Sharon Trio, UK Orchestra Limited. Sony repackaged and re-released three of Tony Bennett's best albums -- I Left My Heart in San Francisco, The Art of Excellence and Astoria: A Portrait of the Artist -- as a slip-cased box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or remastering, which means it's of marginal interest to hardcore collectors. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
One of the finest voices of 20th century American pop, Tony Bennett began his career in the '50s, under the watchful eye of producer Mitch Miller, recording huge hits such as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams," and "Because of You." In 1958, his album BASIE SWINGS-BENNETT SINGS was a precursor to later jazz-based work. That same year, "Firefly" was Bennett's last US Top 40 entry until 1962, when he made a major comeback with the Grammy-winning "I Left My Heart In San Francisco." In '93 and '94 he was awarded Grammys for his albums PERFECTLY FRANK and STEPPIN' OUT.
