Tony Bennett in the Studio: a Life of Art & Music, by Tony Bennett with Robert Sullivan, reviewed by Kate Tesdell, Reference Supervisor, Hoyt Library
(Sterling, 2007, 212 pages, $29.95)

Tony Bennett the singer has achieved legendary fame during his sixty year career in music. Fewer people are aware that he is also a painter who has a canvas in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian.

This lavish book celebrates Bennett’s life in the arts, and takes us through significant events from his childhood living above the grocery store where his father worked to the beautiful apartment overlooking Central Park where he resides today.

Richly illustrated with more than two hundred reproductions of his paintings, the book also includes a CD which includes six of Bennett’s favorite songs.
