Anthony
Dominick Benedetto(born August 3, 1926), known professionally as Tony Bennett,
is an American singer of traditional pop standards, big band, show tunes, and jazz.
He is also a painter, having created works under the name Anthony Benedetto
that are on permanent public display in several institutions. He is the founder
of the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts in Astoria, Queens, New York.
Born and
raised in Astoria to an Italian-American family, Bennett began singing at an
early age. He fought in the final stages of World War II as a U.S. Army infantryman
in the European Theater. Afterward, he developed his singing technique, signed
with Columbia Records and had his first number-one popular song with "Because
of You" in 1951. Several top hits such as "Rags to Riches"
followed in early 1953. He then refined his approach to encompass jazz singing.
He reached an artistic peak in the late 1950s with albums such as The Beat of
My Heart and Basie Swings, Bennett Sings. In 1962, Bennett recorded his signature
song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". His career and personal
life experienced an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era.
Bennett
staged a comeback in the late 1980s and 1990s, putting out gold record albums
again and expanding his reach to the MTV generation while keeping his musical
style intact. He
remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer
in the 2010s. He has won 19 Grammy Awards (including a Lifetime
Achievement Award, presented in 2001) and two Emmy Awards, and was named an NEA
Jazz Master and a Kennedy Center Honoree. Bennett has sold over 50 million
records worldwide.
Audrey
Faith McGraw (née Perry; born September 21, 1967), known professionally as Faith
Hill, is an American singer and record producer. She is one of the most
successful country artists of all time, having sold more than 40 million albums
worldwide. Hill is married to American singer Tim McGraw, with whom she has
recorded several duets.
Hill's
first two albums, Take Me as I Am(1993) and It Matters to Me (1995), were major
successes and placed a combined three number ones on Billboard's country
charts. She then achieved mainstream and crossover success with her next two
albums, Faith(1998) and Breathe(1999). Faith spawned her first international
success in early 1998, "This Kiss", while Breathe became one of the
best-selling country albums of all time, led by the huge crossover success of
the songs "Breathe" and "The Way You Love Me". It had
massive sales worldwide and earned Hill three Grammy Awards.
In 2001,
she recorded "There You'll Be" for the Pearl Harbor soundtrack and it
became an international success and her best-selling single in Europe. Hill's
next two albums, Cry(2002) and Fireflies(2005), were both commercial successes;
the former spawned another crossover single, "Cry", which won Hill a
Grammy Award, and the latter produced the singles "Mississippi Girl"
and "Like We Never Loved at All", which earned her another Grammy
Award.
Hill has
won five Grammy Awards, 15 Academy of Country Music Awards, six American
Music Awards, and several other awards. Her Soul2Soul II Tour 2006 with McGraw
became the highest-grossing country tour of all time. In 2001, she was named
one of the "30 Most Powerful Women in America" by Ladies Home Journal.
In 2009, Billboard named her as the No. 1 Adult Contemporary artist of the
2000s decade and also as the 39th best artist. From 2007 to 2012, Hill was the
voice of NBC Sunday Night Football's intro song. In 2019, Hill will receive a
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Someday,
when I'm awfully low
When
the world is cold
I
will feel a glow, just thinking of you
And
the way you look tonight
Oh,
but your lovely
With
your smile so warm
And
your cheeks so soft
There
is nothing for me, but to love you
Just
the way you look tonight
With
each word your tenderness grows
Tearing
my fear apart
And
that laugh
That
wrinkles your nose
Touches
my foolish heart
Lovely,
never, never change
Keep
that breathless charm
Won't
you please arrange it
Because
I, I love you
Just
the way you look tonight.
