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 his birth name 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 to date. 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.
Perfectly Frank is an album by Tony Bennett, released in 1992, recorded as a tribute to Frank Sinatra.
Part of Bennett's late-in-life comeback to commercial success, it achieved gold record status in the United States and in 1993 won the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.
In 2006 it was reissued with the same contents as Perfectly Frank: An American Classic Celebrates 80, in conjunction with Bennett's 80th birthday.
She gets too hungry for dinner at eight (I'm starving)
She loves the theater and never comes late
I never bother with people that I hate
That's why this chick is a tramp

She doesn't like crap games with barons or earls
Won't go to Harlem in ermine and pearls
And I definitely won't dish our dirt with the rest of those girls
That's why the lady is a tramp

I love the free, fresh wind in my hair
Life without care
I'm so broke
It's "oke"

I hate California, it's crowded and damp
That's why the lady is a tramp (I'm a tramp)

Sometimes I go to Coney Island
Oh the beach is divine
And I love the yankees
Jeter Is just fine
I follow Rodgers and Hart
She sings every line
That's why the lady is a tramp

I love the prize fight
That isn't a fake (no fakes)
And I love to rowboat with you and your wife in Central Park Lake
She goes to the opera and stays wide awake (yes, I do)
That's why this lady is a tramp

She likes the green (green) grass (grass) under her shoes
What can I lose?
'cause I got no dough! oh no?
I'm all alone when I'm blowing my nails
That's why the lady is a tramp

I love your free, fresh, I love your handkerchief in my hand
Life without care
But I'm so broke
That's "oke"
Hates California, it's cold and it's damp
That's why the lady is a tramp
That's why this lady is a tramp
That's why the lady is a tramp.

Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 – June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer, sometimes referred to as the First Lady of Song, Queen of Jazz, and Lady Ella. She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
After a tumultuous adolescence, Fitzgerald found stability in musical success with the Chick Webb Orchestra, performing across the country but most often associated with the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. Her rendition of the nursery rhyme "A-Tisket, A-Tasket" helped boost both her and Webb to national fame. After taking over the band when Webb died, Fitzgerald left it behind in 1942 to start her solo career.
Her manager was Moe Gale, co-founder of the Savoy, until she turned the rest of her career over to Norman Granz, who founded Verve Records to produce new records by Fitzgerald. With Verve she recorded some of her more widely noted works, particularly her interpretations of the Great American Songbook.
While Fitzgerald appeared in movies and as a guest on popular television shows in the second half of the twentieth century, her musical collaborations with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and The Ink Spots were some of her most notable acts outside of her solo career. These partnerships produced some of her best-known songs such as "Dream a Little Dream of Me", "Cheek to Cheek", "Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall", and "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)".
In 1993, after a career of nearly 60 years, she gave her last public performance. Three years later, she died at the age of 79 after years of declining health. Her accolades included fourteen Grammy Awards, the National Medal of Arts, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom..
They're writing songs of love - but not for me
A lucky star's above - but not for me
With love to lead the way I've found more clouds of gray
Than any Russian play - could guarantee

I was a fool to fall - and get that way
Hi ho alas and also lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me

(bridge)

I was a fool to fall - and get that way
Hi ho alas and also lackaday
Although I can't dismiss
The memory of his kiss
I guess he's not for me.

Farnésio Dutra e Silva, conhecido pelo nome artístico Dick Farney (Rio de Janeiro, 14 de novembro de 1921 —São Paulo, 4 de agosto de 1987), foi um cantor, pianista e compositor brasileiro.
Começou a tocar piano ainda na infância, quando aprendia música erudita com o pai, enquanto a mãe lhe ensinava canto.
Em 1937, estreou como cantor no programa Hora Juvenil, na rádio Cruzeiro do Sul do Rio de Janeiro, quando interpretou a canção "Deep Purple", composta por Pete DeRose. Foi levado por César Ladeira para a Rádio Mayrink Veiga, passando a apresentar o programa Dick Farney, a Voz e o Piano. O conjunto Os Swing Maníacos, formado por Dick, tinha ao lado o irmão Cyll Farney, na bateria, e acompanhou Edu da Gaita na gravação da música "Canção da Índia", do compositor russo Nikolay Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908).
De 1941 a 1944, foi crooner da orquestra de Carlos Machado, no Cassino da Urca, no tempo em que o jogo era permitido no Brasil. Em 1946, foi convidado para ir para os Estados Unidos, depois do encontro com o arranjador Bill Hitchcock e o pianista Eddie Duchin, no Hotel Copacabana Palace. Nesse período, gravou o famoso tema jazzístico "Tenderly", considerado a primeira gravação mundial. Entre 1947 e 1948, fez várias apresentações na Rádio NBC, principalmente como cantor fixo no programa do comediante Milton Berle. Em 1948, apresentou-se com sucesso na boate carioca Vogue.
Em 1956, gravou ao vivo o show "Meia-Noite em Copacabana", bem ao estilo da Broadway, lançado pela gravadora Polydor, com temas americanos e brasileiros, que é considerado um marco para a Bossa Nova, devido à mistura de samba e jazz. Em 1959, era exibido o programa de TV Dick Farney Show, na TV Record de São Paulo. Em 1960, formou a banda Dick Farney e sua Orquestra, que animou muitos bailes. Em 1964, com o advento da Bossa Nova, gravou, a convite de Aloysio de Oliveira, pela gravadora Elenco, o disco Dick Farney (Elenco ME-15), com a participação especial de Norma Bengell na faixa solo "Vou Por Aí" (Baden Powell e Aloysio de Oliveira) e em dueto na faixa "Você" (Roberto Menescal e Ronaldo Bôscoli).
Em 1965, apresentou o programa Dick e Betty na recém-inaugurada TV Globo do Rio de Janeiro, ao lado de Betty Faria e Dick Farney. Ainda nesse ano, voltou a gravar o segundo disco pela Elenco o LP Dick Farney: Piano, Gaya: Orquestra. Entre 1977 e 1987, Gogô passou a ser seu pianista acompanhador.
Foi proprietário das boates Farney's e Farney's Inn, ambas em São Paulo. Em 1971, formou um trio com Sabá (contrabaixo) e Toninho Pinheiro (bateria). Entre 1973 e 1978, tocou piano e cantou na boate Chez Régine, também na capital paulista, onde morreria, vítima de um edema pulmonar, em 1987, aos 65 anos.
Não tem solução
este novo amor
Um amor a mais
me roubou a paz
Eu que esperava
nunca mais amar
não sei o que faça
com este amor demais.

Hey!
My fists are tight and I'm afraid
Cause I cannot, I cannot explain
Your heart is like a hurricane
But can't you see I'm so in pain
Guess I'm not 'cause I don't talk
And then you write me off again
And I don't think you understand at all

I don't wanna use my mouth
Don't know how to spell it out
Everytime I try, it sucks
I just wish you could open me up
And see-e-e-e all the confusion
And the love and the hurt
The wrong words I'm using
'Cause tonight, it feels like
Like you don't know my heart
You, you don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart
You, you don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)

Why, you say I never really see
That it's only ever about me?
Like I don't listen when you speak
Like it doesn't kill me when your tears fall down
And I cannot catch it
And I do not have the perfect expression
And I don't think you understand at all

I don't wanna use my mouth
Don't know how to spell it out
Everytime I try, it sucks
I just wish you could open me up
And see-e-e-e all the confusion
And the love and the hurt
The wrong words I'm using
'Cause tonight, it feels like
Like you don't know my heart
You, you don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart
You, you don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)

Like you don't know my... (feels like eh)
Like you don't know my... (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart
(Feels like eh, eh, eh, eh)

I don't wanna use my mouth
Don't know how to spell it out
Every time I try, it sucks
I just wish you could open me up
And see-e-e-e all the confusion
And the love, and the hurt, the wrong words I'm using
'Cause tonight, it feels like
You, you don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart
You, you don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
Like you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)

Like you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You, you don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh)
You don't know, you don't know my heart (feels like eh).
