Tony Bennett Live tonight at the Beau Rivage
Tony Bennett, who grew up in Queens, New York, is arguably one of the most popular recording artists of all time. He performs a sold-out show at 8 p.m. tonight in the Beau Rivage’s Magnolia Ballroom. A perennial favorite, as a young boy Bennett performed before New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia at the opening of the Triborough Bridge in 1936. His popular songs, according to the Web site allmusic.com, include “Rags to Riches,” “Strangers in Paradise” and Bennett’s signature tune, 1962’s “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” (a ballad written by two unknown songwriters, George Cory and Douglass Cross, who pitched it to Bennett’s pianist, Ralph Sharon.) Bennett has also won numerous Grammies, including back-to-back for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance in 1992-93, and 1994’s Grammy for Album of the Year.
