Tony has a voice like no other even to the present at 85! Perfect phrasing as he makes the lyrics come to life. What seems impossible for anyone except opera singers is to watch Tony singing "Fly me to the moon" with just a guitar and no amplification. He can be heard in the balcony of the Academy of Music in Philly and at Radio City Music Hall.
This version doesnt suck compared to the Andy Williams singing it, it is just different. In my opinion Mr. Bennett adds more drama, making it more personal perhaps. Men like Mr. Bennett are close to extinct unfortunately.The older generation had true men, we have justin bieber.enough said.
people.. r u kidding me? this man is a musical icon. i saw him a few years ago, and his voice is more powerful , stronger and on key than ever. you have no idea what this man has brought to history.
for Tori~ my angel...the piano player last night @ dal rae was great !she & I were talking about all the rat-pack songs, i told her this one fits my feelings for my child VICTORIA ~ perfectly...
@lukasnummer1 just tell to your tony, can he make his version bigger hit than andy's, then your tony can change the history which have been written, if it works I'll give my LITTLE respect to your tony, show me the fact
Tony Bennett is part of dying breed and is among the last of the legendary crooners. We still have Andy Williams and Tony Bennett, but gone are Frank, Dean, and Sammy, Mel Torme.
I just saw TB and he still has it ! Obviously not as he was 30 yrs ago. Andy Williams is real good but come on... not in the same breath. You have top 1% and then the others.
@infinera06 actually, his voice is STILL amazing, thats the interesting thing about him. i saw him in concert last year (age 83?) and he STILL sounds just like his records. it's incredible to see him perform live.
Whew, I just can't make my mind up who I think sings this better: Tony Bennett or Andy Williams. But who says I can't adore both. Andy is a little richer sounding, maybe.
You can check out both of them singing together "City Medley" on the Andy Williams show. They never sounded better, and, "Whew, I just can't make my mind up" as to who's better!
He has the phrasing now in 2009 - but not (for obvious reasons) the breath control that he did when he recorded this in the very early seventies.......this is truly magnificant singing - Bennett at his peak
Hello to you Leafarvic. His style is different now, as I said, for obvious reasons. Seen him many times over the last 30 plus years in the UK and met him once. He is a fine artist and I'm pleased he is still singing.
This is exactly how it should be. Superb phrasing, brilliant timing, fabulously sung.The one and very only Tony Bennet. My all time favourite.Many thanks T, for all the fabulous memories you have shared with me.
You can keep the pretenders. Bennet rules everytime

Dorothy Squires version was so filled with emotion because she sang it with her infatuation and rejection of Roger Moore.
But for me Tony bennet will always be The singer. irrespective of what he sings its always with authenticity.
i don't believe he ever sang for commercial reasons just for the love of the lyrics and the harmonies.
