review 1: Tony is one of the artists I have had the pleasure of seeing twice (so far) in my life. He performs from the heart and as if everyone in the audience are family and friends. This book explains how and why he is so at ease with performing. Life is a Gift. Tony talks about his time in war, divorces, and drugs. He reflects on how having mentors like Duke Ellington and Frank Sinatra helped him stay on course and focus on his talent. He takes his role as a mentor to young artists to heart. ♡
review 2: Surprisingly, I've never been a huge fan of Tony Bennett, but this book makes me want to give him another look. Really enjoyed hearing about his life and family growing up in NYC, all the great interactions and friendships with the jazz greats, and a painting care... moreer that is more enjoyable to read about that look at ;-) Kudos to Bennett for following his heart and not compromising, despite the constant lure and pressure to do what others wanted him to do; now a legend and generous benefactor to the arts. less
