0:05:35 > 0:05:38You don't wake up one day and say,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41"Hey, I'm Tony Bennett." It has to start somewhere.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46As a teenager, Anthony Dominick Benedetto would hop the subway,
0:05:46 > 0:05:47which cost a dime at the time,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51and travel from his hometown of Astoria, Queens, into New York City.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54He'd get off at 52nd Street and Sixth Avenue,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Swing Street as it was known.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It was the centre of jazz in this country.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01There were 38 clubs on two city blocks.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05The names of the clubs are right out of a Damon Runyon novel,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08names like the Blue Note, the Onyx, the Three Deuces
0:06:08 > 0:06:13and the club that I went to when I was a kid cos my dad produced the jazz shows there - Jimmy Ryan's.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17As a teenager, young Anthony, who would, of course, change his name
0:06:17 > 0:06:21to Kirk Douglas - first - and then since someone had it,
0:06:21 > 0:06:23became Tony Bennett.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27He'd stand at the back of these clubs and watch the great jazz players play
0:06:27 > 0:06:29and he would study them like a musician.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34He'd listen to the way Miles Davis would squeeze a note out of his trumpet
0:06:34 > 0:06:37or the way that Art Tatum would create an unpredictable phrase
0:06:37 > 0:06:40or the way that Lester Young would soulfully play a rift.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46And he said to himself, "If I could sing like that, maybe I'd be unique, maybe I'd be something special."
0:06:46 > 0:06:50And around 3am, the musicians would stop playing for the patrons
0:06:50 > 0:06:53and they'd start playing for each other.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Sometimes these shows would go on till dawn.

0:09:36 > 0:09:40But Columbia wasn't too happy with its newest boy singer.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42His latest single "Our Lady Of Fatima"

0:09:47 > 0:09:49he'd be dropped from the label.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54His arranger Percy Faith told him, "I've got just the song."
0:09:54 > 0:09:58When it was released, "Because Of You" failed to cause a stir.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34Describing his Carnegie Hall debut, Tony said,
0:32:34 > 0:32:38"I put everything I'd been studying for the last 20 years into that show."
0:32:38 > 0:32:42To a musician, playing Carnegie Hall is like crowning Everest
0:32:42 > 0:32:45or planting a flag on the moon. When Tony finally got there,
0:32:45 > 0:32:50it was a natural fit. Years later, when pop was eclipsed by rock'n'roll,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Tony's refusal to conform to the fads of the day would pay off
0:32:54 > 0:32:58and land him in the hippest venue of them all, the soundstages of MTV.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02In 1993, his appearance during the MTV music awards
0:33:02 > 0:33:06with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers caused a sensation.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10As a result, MTV Unplugged asked Tony to shoot an episode.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15The show was a smash hit. Tony Bennett not only bridged the generation gap,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17he demolished it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20The resulting album became Tony's biggest ever
0:33:20 > 0:33:22and at the GRAMMYs he picked up Album of the Year,
0:33:22 > 0:33:26proof that fashion is a habit but art...
0:33:26 > 0:33:28art lasts for ever.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32This year, Tony Bennett celebrates his 80th birthday.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Over the course of his lifetime, he's been awarded many times over.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41But if you ask Tony about the greatest compliment he's ever been paid
0:36:41 > 0:36:44he'll tell you about the quote that appeared in Life magazine.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48When his hero Frank Sinatra said these words over 40 years ago,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51he couldn't have known how much they'd mean to Tony.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56Frank said, "For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58"He moves me.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02"He's the singer who gets across what the composer had in mind
0:37:02 > 0:37:04"and probably a little more."
