Тоні Беннет: Американський класик

Тоні Беннет: Американський класик:On August 3, 2006, Tony Bennett turned 80 years-old. It was a milestone moment both for the artist, and for popular music as well. I know it's a cliche, but they just don't make 'em like Bennett anymore. A consummate showman, the guy did it all -- sing as well as entertain, combining elements of pop, jazz, dance, musical theater and classic vaudeville. His list of accomplishments is so long and his collaborators so varied that his resume alone could easily fill the halls of the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame. Frank Sinatra didn't call this guy "the greatest singer ever" for nuthin'. To celebrate Bennett's birthday and further cement his legacy, NBC produced a one-of-a-kind television special in late 2006, called 'An American Classic.' It was a true rarity for network TV these days, reminiscent of the variety shows and musical revues more common to the medium in the '60s and '70s. There are biographical sequences on Bennett's rise to stardom and "surprise" tributes from various celebrities (including Bruce Willis, Robert De Niro and John Travolta), which bridge ten different stand-alone duets with top musical artists. Interspersed throughout are several dance numbers and a few comedy bits (which work surprisingly well).Треклист: 1. Smile: with Barbra Streisand 2. Sing You Sinners: with John Legend 3.
