Tony Bennett - Ultimate American Songbook Volume 1 CD

"The Ultimate American Songbook" has been a long-term passion for Tony and it has taken him many years to choose each individual track from the thousands of his recorded masters since the 1950s. It was a daunting task for a performer who has made over 105 albums in an illustrious career that began on April 17th 1950 with his recording of "Boulevard Of Broken Dreams". The album is a showcase for some the greatest writers/composers of all time, including Cole Porter, Ray Nobel, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller, Jerome Kern, Vernon Duke, Richard Rogers, Irving Berlin and the great teams of George/Ira Gershwin, Harold Arlen/Johnny Mercer and Gush Kahn/ Ishram Jones and provides a musical atlas of songs and releases spanning from the 1930s – 1990s.

"The Ultimate American Songbook" album will also include a unique feature, Ultimate Access Pass, which will allow fans via their computer to access a world of extras which will be continually updated.  Features include 7 additional free downloads personally selected by the artist, including "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" and "The Good Life", photos, behind-the-scenes footage, making-of videos, special offers and unique prizes.
