Benedetto/Blessed: Celebrating the Life and Music of Tony Bennett
The best is yet to come as singer and recording artist Russ Lorenson honors an American music icon, the man whom Frank Sinatra called "the best singer in the business."
He's that regular guy from Astoria, Queens, who left his heart in San Francisco. He's the civil rights pioneer whose groundbreaking friendship with an African-American Army buddy during World War II caused his superiors to punish him by making him dig graves. He's the postwar heartthrob who inspired hundreds of young girls to wear black outside St. Patrick's Cathedral on his wedding day. His first music video - at age 67 - made him the darling of the MTV generation. He's the consummate artist known worldwide for his paintings. He's the recording artist who's sold over 50 million records, won 15 Grammy Awards, and released the best selling album of his career - at age 80! The world knows him as Tony Bennett, but his birth name - Benedetto - means "blessed", an accurate adjective to describe both the man and his fans.
