Tony Bennett
Multiple Grammy Award-winner Tony Bennett returns to the Center for one night only with a program of beloved songs that have made him an American icon and an international treasure.
Born and raised in Astoria in Queens, Bennett began singing at an early age. After serving in World War II, Tony became a singer, signing with Columbia Records when he was just 25. Today, Tony is ever evolving his music, performing with such recent stars as Lady Gaga, Queen Latifah and Amy Winehouse.
Tony Bennett’s initial successes came via a string of Columbia singles in the early 1950's, including such chart-toppers as "Because of You," "Rags to Riches." He had 24 songs in the Top 40, including: "I Wanna Be Around," "The Good Life," "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)?” and his signature song, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," which garnered him the first two of his 17 Grammy Awards. He has introduced a multitude of songs into the great American Songbook that have since become pop music classics, and he is one of only a handful of artists to have new albums charting in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and 10’s.
