Tony Bennett At The “Red”

Those headlights are certainly bright!  This is a photo of Tony Bennett and me backstage at the Red Robinson Show Theatre. Tony was as engaging as ever and we discussed his many years in the business and the fact that this year marks the 50th anniversary of his giant hit I Left My Heart In San Francisco. He sang it that night. Tony mentioned that he signed with Columbia Records in 1950 and 62 years later has the number one album on Billboard magazine. This fact was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. Tony’s longevity in the business is truly amazing. He never gave up his integrity relative to his music. He refused all the trends and stuck with great songs by great songwriters. It has paid off. Both shows, one at the “Red’ and the other at the River Rock were sold out. Thanks Tony for many great years of recordings.
