PIPPED AT THE POST BY ANOTHER LEGEND

This year's award went to country star Willie Nelson, a youngster at 85, who took home the 13th Grammy in his 63-year career.

Bennett had beaten Nelson in 2018 after the country star took the 2017 Award from him. We look forward to seeing which of these two talented giants wins in 2020.

70 YEARS SINGING HIS DREAM

Tony Bennett was born in 1926, in Queens, New York, and studied singing and painting. The singer is also a talented artist whose art hangs in many prestigious institutions.

Bennett was "discovered" by Bob Hope in 1950 when he was singing in a nightclub and Hope invited him to perform with him at New York’s Paramount Theatre.

Bennett was offered a contract with Columbia Records and he went on to record several hits including “Because of You,” “Cold, Cold Heart,” “Stranger in Paradise,” “Just in Time,” and “Rags to Riches.”

After 70 years, Bennett's career is still going strong, as is evidenced by his nomination for the 2019 Grammy Awards alongside crooner Diana Krall.
