- <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.
