Tony Bennett Music Quotations

I think one of the reasons I'm popular again is because I'm wearing a tie. You have to be different.

I still insist that American performers are the best performers in the world.

This is amazing. I'm overwhelmed. It's music that I love so much from all of these magnificent artists.

I'm the kid of baby boomers, and the baby boomers listened to rock-and-roll, not thinking that Sinatra and Bennett were cool. I discovered this music on my own, which is why I really adopted it as my own music.

To work is to feel alive.

Just give a drum roll, announce my name & I come out & sing. I have a contract that says I'm a singer. So I sing.

Intimate singing had a wonderful style in the '30s and '40s. It came out of Broadway and the jazz of Louis Armstrong and Billie Holliday. But Sinatra created the best romantic era that we've ever had.
