Dear Tony Boy, 95 is a great goal, of course, but what I wish for myself with all my heart, is to still be here to celebrate you for lots and lots of years to come! Which of your hits could represent you better than this one? For many years, when I lived in North Beach, a stone's throw from Chinatown, in the heart of the wonderful city that gives this song its title, performing it was a daily "must". My oh my how many battles I had in Old Frisco! So many years, so many stories! I'll never forget the green years spent in the Bay, in my area, in a side street between Wasghington Square and Columbus Avenue, where in a cozy sunny apartment on Mason Street, my heart was beating! So, Happy Birthday, Tony Bennett, and thank you for all you have taught me!  I love you!

I left my heart in San Francisco

Written by Harold Arlen, it was first recorded in the 1930s by Cab Calloway and later by Bing Crosby, with the Dorsey Brothers Orchestra. But in my opinion, perfection came in 1953, with Frank Sinatra's version and Nelson Riddle's arrangement. Later, many and many others recorded it, such as Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughan... but the one by The Voice is certainly the most remarkable.  www.facebook.com/mauriziorazori/

I've got the world on a string

This gem definitely for connoisseurs of the genre, brazenly represents what can without a doubt be described as "Classy Stuff"! Co-written by Jimmy Rowles & Johnny Mercer, over time it has been recorded by a vast number of artists, such as Ella Fitzgerald and Jack Jones, but honestly, if I ever had to choose to save a version, I´d go with that of the unattainable Tony Bennett! For you all friends, with the arrangement borrowed from the great Tony, here is my version.

Baby don't you quit now

From Dean Martin´s repertoire, here is a lovely tune written by Dick Glasser. Before and even after, the song had already been performed by other artists but the real success came in 1965, with his loving performance!

"Delilah" is a murder ballad recorded by Welsh singer Tom Jones in 1968. Lyrics written by Barry Mason and Sylvan Whittingham, to the music by Les Reed, who also contributed the title and theme of the song, and earned Reed and Mason the 1968 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically. It reached No. 1 in the charts of several countries including Germany and Switzerland. It reached No 2 in the British charts in March 1968 and was the sixth best selling single of that year. The US Billboard chart records its highest position as 15. 

  

We hope you enjoy this Reggae version of Delilah with Music and arrangement by my great friend Dmitry Panich and yours truly on vocals. Dmitry had this urge to do a reggae version of this classic song and as usual he put together a great track. As always so many thanks for coming by and taking a listen, And as always Peace and Love =M=
