1	Duets: An American Classic (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Tony Bennett has so many adoring celebrity fans it should come as no surprise that when a major duets album is planned, he's able to draw a roster of the biggest recording stars from the rock and vocal worlds, plus a pair of country music wildcards. (This despite the fact that he recorded an album with several duets in 2001, and a full-album ... see all copies from $3.65! new only from $3.74!
2	The Essential Tony Bennett [Columbia/Legacy] (2002) more music like this by Tony Bennett Like most entries in Sony/Legacy's Essential series, 2002's The Essential Tony Bennett is an excellent, exhaustive retrospective of a lengthy, hit-filled career at Columbia. Although Bennett spent time at other labels -- particularly in the '70s -- he made his best-known and greatest recordings for Columbia, from the late '50s through the '90s, ... see all copies from $7.68! new only from $10.02!
3	It Might as Well Be Swing (1964) more music like this by Frank Sinatra/Count Basie and His Orchestra Frank Sinatra and Count Basie's second collaboration, It Might as Well Be Swing, was a more structured, swing-oriented set than Sinatra-Basie, and in many ways the superior album. The album consists of then-recently written songs, arranged as if they were swing numbers. The results work splendidly, not just because arranger/conductor Quincy Jones ... see all copies from $4.00!
4	Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil (1997) more music like this by Original Soundtrack As a means of telling one of the most infamous stories of Savannah, GA, jazz-student/director/actor Clint Eastwood has chosen the works of one of the most famous natives of this fabled southern city, Johnny Mercer. Not only has he and producer Matt Pierson picked some of the most beautiful and beloved selections of the Great American Songbook, but ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $11.11!
5	The Ultimate Tony Bennett [2000] (2000) more music like this by Tony Bennett The 20 tracks on this anthology cover Bennett's entire career at Columbia, from his 1951 number one single "Because of You" to "Mood Indigo" from 1999's Hot and Cool: Bennett Sings Ellington. Note, however, that "entire career at Columbia" is not synonymous with Bennett's entire career, as there's nothing representing the span between the mid-'60s ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $15.35!
6	All-Time Greatest Hits (1950) more music like this by Tony Bennett Tony Bennett's departure from Columbia Records after 22 years in 1972 inspired the label to put together a one-volume hits compilation (originally released on two LPs) of 20 songs covering his entire Columbia output, from "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and the early hits like "Because of You" and "Rags to Riches," through the early- to mid-'60s hit ... see all copies from $5.98!
7	Spotlight On Bobby Darin [Great Gentlemen of Song] (1995) more music like this by Bobby Darin If you've got a yen for the most pop-oriented area of Darin's repertoire, head for this disc, which presents 20 of his most mainstream Capitol outings from 1962 to 1965. Devoted to pop standards, over half of the tracks feature orchestras working under the conduction of Billy May. It also has a bit more collector appeal than the typical volume of ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.79!
8	Spotlight on Peggy Lee [Great Ladies of Song] (1995) more music like this by Peggy Lee Peggy Lee spent a good many years with Capitol, and it was there that she cut some of her best sides. Save for a few years in the late '40s (and several early hits), Lee hit her stride with the label during the end of the '50s and throughout the '60s. Working in a variety of settings, from string orchestras to jazz combos, Lee applied her vocal ... see all copies from $6.97! new only from $10.79!
9	Small World Big Band (2001) more music like this by Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra see all copies from $3.48! new only from $12.88!
10	My Best to You (1982) more music like this by Tony Bennett CBS Special Products first assembled this ten-track budget compilation of Tony Bennett's Columbia Records recordings spanning 1951-1971 in 1982, and it has been reissued periodically since, first by Sony Music Special Products (after Sony bought and renamed CBS Records) and then under license to Collectables Records for its Priceless Collection ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
11 view cover	The Swinging Side of Bobby Darin (2005) more music like this by Bobby Darin During the early '60s, the Capitol Tower had begun to lose its luster as the home of traditional pop. Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin had departed for Reprise, which soon became the home of pop with recordings from Sinatra and Martin plus Sammy Davis, Jr. One of Capitol's counter moves was to sign Atco's Bobby Darin, who had started as a teen idol ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
12 view cover	Jools Holland's Big Band Rhythm & Blues (2002) more music like this by Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra Although this is nominally credited to Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, really this is a 22-track various-artists compilation with Holland's ensemble serving as the house band. The lineup of old and new, superstar and cult talent is impressive, even if many of them are past their prime: Sting, John Cale, Stevie Winwood, Taj Mahal, ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $16.52!
13 view cover	Wild Cool & Swingin (1999) more music like this by Bobby Darin Classic pop crooner Bobby Darin is profiled in this volume of Capitol's Ultra Lounge series, Wild, Cool & Swingin. The label's vaults reveal Darin performances like "Hello, Young Lovers," "Hello Dolly," "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" and others that reflect his range and versatility as a performer. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $5.82! new only from $10.79!
14 view cover	Yo! Bobby (2007) more music like this by Waverly Seven Most of the time when a tribute is paid to a singer, the resulting project emphasizes vocals. Yo! Bobby, a two-CD tribute to Bobby Darin, is quite unusual in that no singing takes place. The Waverly Seven, a septet with two keyboards and three horns, performs 24 songs that Darin had recorded, including some of his hits (though, surprisingly, not ... see all copies from $12.95! new only from $12.95!
15 view cover	Swing an' Slow (2006) more music like this by Bobby Darin see all copies from $24.79! new only from $24.79!
16 view cover	I Wanna Be Around... (1963) more music like this by Tony Bennett As the studio album followup to Tony Bennett's breakthrough record, I Left My Heart In San Francisco, I Wanna Be Around had a lot to live up to, but since San Francisco was a culmination of Bennett's development, not a fluke, I Wanna Be Around turned out to be almost on a par with its predecessor. "The Good Life" and "I Wanna Be Around" became Top ... see all copies from $1.99!
17 view cover	Too Marvelous for Words: The Songs of Johnny Mercer (2000) more music like this by Lee Lessack Johnny Mercer's words and music fill a lot of space in the Great American Popular Songbook. He has penned words for the music of some of the most venerable songs in popular song history. It's hard not to find something by Mercer on albums cut by contemporary singers as well as on those by the great song stylists of the past. Albums paying tribute ... see all copies from $9.77! new only from $9.77!
18 view cover	Trini Lopez in London (1967) more music like this by Trini Lopez As the liner notes say, "Trini Lopez and London go together like mini skirts and birds!" Who could argue with that? After all, the writer also informs listeners that Lopez is "at the center of the whole swingin' world!" Well, at least the album definitely does swing. In fact, each track seems specifically designed to induce wild fits of head ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $10.79!
19 view cover	Seattle/The Songs I Love (2004) more music like this by Perry Como see all copies from $13.37! new only from $13.37!
20 view cover	16 Most Requested Songs (1986) more music like this by Tony Bennett 16 Most Requested Songs is a nice, budget-priced collection of Tony Bennett's hits that provides an adequate introduction, but it is far from a definitive collection. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.95! new only from $18.19!
21 view cover	Very Best of Dinah Washington (2006) more music like this by Dinah Washington see all copies from $30.39! new only from $30.39!
22 view cover	Sings His All-Time Hall of Fame Hits (1997) more music like this by Tony Bennett Sings His All-Time Hall of Fame Hits is a 12-track hits compilation focusing primarily on Tony Bennett's 1960s work and allowing him to re-record several numbers using only pianist John Bunch for accompaniment (and to give spoken introductions, including one in which he explains how he found "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" before segueing into ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
23 view cover	Greatest Hits of the '60s (2006) more music like this by Tony Bennett Released the month that Tony Bennett turned 80, this LP-length compilation of his 1960s records gives a good account of his second decade of recording, even if it doesn't quite live up to the "greatest hits" claim of its title. All of Bennett's Top 40 pop hits of the '60s are included, among them the Top 20 entries "I Left My Heart in San ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $2.99!
24 view cover	Sings the Big Ones for Young Lovers (1964) more music like this by Sammy Davis, Jr. Sammy Davis, Jr. followed up 1964's The Shelter of Your Arms -- his highest charting long-player to date -- with this dozen-song outing, supported by some irresistible backdrops courtesy of arrangers Jimmie Haskell and Perry Botkin Jr. Rather than another collection of show tunes and standards from the American popular music canon, Sings the Big ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $12.55!
25 view cover	Cold Sweat (1967) more music like this by James Brown If "Cold Sweat" was a revolutionary single in 1967, clearly pointing the way to funk music, the Cold Sweat LP at least promised to be something new in James Brown's catalog as well. Where Brown's albums had been collections containing his current single and miscellaneous older tracks, this one proclaimed on its cover, "All New," "Great Songs," ... see all copies from $8.00!
