Tony Bennett, real name Anthony Dominick Benedetto - American pop singer traditional swing and pop music with jazz elements, Mostly of the repertoire of Great American Songbook. Also known as an artist. Laureate of the Gershwin Prize in 2017.
Having achieved great popularity in the early 1950s, Bennett began to lose the public with the onset of the era of rock music.
The difference between Bennett from other idres-n-roll epochs is that he waited for the return of interest in the traditional stage and was able to shake the fruits of this change.
In the late 1980s and 1990s, Bennett gradually soldered to the missed glory, expanding his audience at the expense of the younger generation and maintaining the commitment to the traditional style of pop singing in the 1990s and 2000s. He was awarded a variety of Grammy Awards in the "Traditional Pop Music category" category.
