Tony Bennett's All-Time Greatest Hits Record

sounds like it was recorded on an old turntable with bad speakersI TAKE IT BACK I FIXED MY SETTINGS

Sinatra referred to Tony Bennett as the 'best singer in the business', and after listening to many of Tony's albums it is hard to argue. This 'best of' collection from 1972 includes some magnificent recordings, including 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco', 'Love Look Away', a heart-stopping 'I Wanna Be Around', a rousing 'Sing You Sinners' and more. It is a time capsule album of Tony's earlier career.While his voice is sensational -- it deepens into something beyond compare by the early 1960s -- a few of the songs are the product of their era, notwithstanding Tony's talent. The early 1960s style of adding a background choir and additional echo has a kind of charm, but it sounds like -- well, the early 1960s. The good news is that apart from a 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' that sounds like a bad cabaret tune and a cover of George Harrison's 'Something' that really isn't for Tony (he's a Cole Porter, Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Rodgers & Hart kind of guy -- best when the music swings or in great ballads), most of this album is a real treasure.However -- some of the albums from which these songs were culled are worth buying. 'I Wanna Be Around' is a superb album, as is 'Who Can I Turn To'. And, if you enjoy live music, the 1962 Carnegie Hall Concert is an outstanding recording that includes much of the classic material here, in rousing renditions. Two CDs of live Tony Bennett in 1962 -- what else could you want?If you are looking for an introduction to Tony Bennett, or just appreciate his powerful voice and inimitable spirit -- the guy always sounds like he's smiling into the microphone, and that happiness comes through -- you should enjoy this album. If a couple of the tracks sound a bit like kitsch, so be it.

There is Nothing like listening to Tony Bennett anytime of the day. Tony is a True Legend. And it shows in his 70 years singing. You can never go wrong with Tony Bennett Music ♥️

Tony Bennete songs made our evening wonderful and memorable. Good recording quality.

My husband loved Tony Bennett & his songs. I will play the CD and remember seeing Tony in person (with his daughter, Antonia, at Thunder Valley Casino (outdoors) - a wonderful concert. A wonderful CD!

I bought as a gift and she loves it. Nice selection of songs.

What a great CD. Tony Bennett is an artist. Loved this collection.I don't understand why some people complain about what's NOT in the collection (and rate it lower) than enjoying the great songs that are here. Highly recommend this CD. So relaxing. I play it often.

Each song on this CD is a jewel. I love his big orchestra accompaniment. I can listen to this album over and over.

When The Late Frank Sinatra Stated That " Tony Bennett Is The Best Singer On This Earth " Then You Could Not Blame The Man For Recording Some Of The Most Memorable Tracks Ever Released...His Hit Output For CLOUMBIA Records ( Now SONY ) Sold n The Millions -And Even Some Of The " Hepsters " Liked Tony's Delivery On The Now-Classic " II Left My Heart In San Francisco " Which Introduced Tony To A Brand-New ( And Much Younger ) Audience Than He'd Been Used To....His Chart Follow-Up " I Want To Be Around " Also Had Airplay On The A.M. Radio Stations Play-Lists....Now Reaching Even A " Third-Generation " Audience With His Duets With The Likes Of Lady Goo-Goo As Well As Others Has Kept Tony In The Public Eye And He's Still A " House-Hold Word " When Most Of His Counter-Parts Would have Long-Retired....( Or Mostly Forgotten )These Labels That Are Trolling Their Vaults For Even Their Initial Releases Of " Greatest Hits " Packages Have Discovered That Perhaps That 20-Year-Old Working In The Tape Library Of Some Major Label Will Find That There Are Indeed Treasures That Are Stored, And Are Worth The Time And Effort To Provide Some Enjoyment To Those Who Still Might Like A Bit Of Great Artist Such As Tony Bennett, Perry Como, Or Mel Torme, Etc, Etc, Etc....

Apparently, Frank Sinatra once described Tony Bennett as the best singer in the world. A matter of opinion maybe, but he was certainly a great singer in his prime and here interprets these classic songs as only he could. Wonderful!

Another great cd from the amazing Tony Bennett.This is a collection of his old and latest songs, so you can hear the voice sounds different dipendihg when that particular song was sang.Good buy.

Fantastic CD a bit of a Bennett novice so this is the perfect introduction

No complaints good selection songs from the great crooner
