Summary

The first complete biography of singing legend Tony Bennett.

Among America's greatest entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Ray Charles, and Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett alone is still here and at the top of his game. For the first time, All the Things You Are tells the incredible story of Bennett's life and 60-year career, from his impoverished New York City childhood through his first chart-topping hits, from liberating a concentration camp to his civil rights struggles, from his devastating personal and career battles and addiction in the 1970's to his stunning comeback and emergence as a musical statesman, America's troubadour, role model, and mentor, and unmatched interpreter of the American songbook.

  • Takes a candid, unvarnished look at the amazing life of one of America's most enduring musical icons.
  • Based on dozens of author interviews with Bennett's family members, agents, musicians, composers and managers, and experts on the last 50 years of popular music.
  • Filled with stories involving leading figures and entertainers of the 20th-century, including Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Fiorello LaGuardia, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ray Charles, Dean Martin, Billie Holliday, and more.

Whether you've been a Tony Bennett fan for decades or are just discovering him, this book will deepen your understanding of this hugely gifted entertainer and his music.

Great for discovering more Bennett music

Found this really interesting as I did not know much of Tony Bennett's life story. And super useful as a guide to finding the best albums in Bennett's vast back catalogue. For instance his first jazz lp Cloud 7 is lovely. The book is a careful stitch together of interviews and sources, sometimes a little repetitive. The author attempts a rounded picture, showing flaws as well as the many graces. Well worth reading, it's a shame there is a technical issue with the sound quality, although this worked better when using a speaker.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
