Tony Bennett (born Anthony Dominick Benedetto; August 3, 1926) is an American singer of popular music, standards and jazz. After having achieved artistic and commercial success in the 1950s and early 1960s, his career suffered an extended downturn during the height of the rock music era. Bennett staged a remarkable comeback, however, in the late 1980s and 1990s, expanding his audience to a younger generation while keeping his musical style intact. He remains a popular and critically praised recording artist and concert performer in the 2000s.

Bennett released more singles than just these; see The Good Life appendix which has a full list but no chart information. The Essential Tony Bennett only has chart information for songs contained on it. The Whitburn book only has Top 40 hits from 1955 on. All Music Guide has Top 100 hits from 1955 on but the ordering within years is suspect.
