Tony Bennett's signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", yesterday marked its 50th anniversary from its original recording date (January 23, 1962)! 

The song garnered Bennett his first Grammy for "Record of the Year," and as a Grammy nominee this year for "Duets II", he holds the longest span of Grammy nominations in the music industry. Upon the release of "Tony Bennett - The Complete Collection", the most extensive collection of his recordings to date, The New York Times commented, "We aren't likely to see a recording career like this again." 

On January 27, PBS' Great Performances will air "Tony Bennett: Duets II", a stunning visual presentation of the full performances from his #1 album, "Duets II", featuring Tony recording with Lady GagaCarrie UnderwoodAretha FranklinJohn Mayer, the late Amy Winehouse and a host of others.
