Tony Does It His Way
</hdr><body>
<p>By Ginia Bellafante
</p>
<p> Nothing boosts a career like a good word from the Chairman
of the Board. Just ask Tony Bennett. Nearly 30 years ago,
undisputed swing king Frank Sinatra named Bennett his favorite
singer, the best in the business that boasted the silky
seductive sounds of Mel Torme and Perry Como. "He doubled my
audience," remarks Bennett. "Sinatra's always been warm and
wonderful to me." So now it's time to thank Frank, the right
way: with a tribute album. On Perfectly Frank, the 66-year-old
Queens-bred crooner belts out 24 Sinatra classics, including
gems like Night and Day and I've Got the World on a String. Says
Bennett of Ol' Blue Eyes: "He's given us the most mature popular
music ever written." Bennett will further extend his gratitude
with a Perfectly Frank tour beginning in New York City next
week.
