'I have always stayed true to myself': Our 2019 Q&A with the late legendary crooner TonyBennett
Editor's note: This email Q&A with Tony Bennett originally ran in June 2019 previewing his final show at Highland Park's Ravinia Festival.
A. In 1949 I was invited to go on tour with Bob Hope. He asked my name. I told him Joe Bari. He said,"What's your given name?" I told him it was Anthony Benedetto. He said,"Well, let's shorten it to Tony Bennett." So Bob Hope introduced me on that stage at New York's great Paramount Theatre! In 1951 Columbia signed me to a recording contract. I made"Because of You," and my career really took off.
Q. What has been your favorite musical collaboration? And who would you have loved to work with but never got the chance?
