What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



I've said before, Tony was never one of my favorite crooners. But off the top of my head, he'd probably come in the
top 10. This compilation is good enough for a love rating. His first 20 years are covered here. Well maybe not
covered, but with a thin veil. A lot of albums put out in those years, 52-72. The year 1972 was the end of Tonys
contract with Columbia, thus a nice double album compilation was in order. Even surprised me with nine love tracks
of the 20. Have to side with most in that I Left My Heart In San Franciso was his best track ever. Not sure which of
these tracks were actual hits, other than that one. Gotta be some filler in here. Two tracks I don't care for at
all. Can't believe the man is still going after 60 years in the business. Haven't cared for much he has done lately,
but I think he has paid enough dues for any accolades he may receive. Carry on Mr. Bennett.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Sing You Sinners

Best Track - I Left My Heart In San Francisco

The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gray
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the Bay

I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care

My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me
