Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Anthony Dominic Benedetto, i ʻike ʻia ʻo Tony Bennett, ma ʻAukake 3, 1926 ma New York. ʻAʻole noho maikaʻi ka ʻohana - hana ka makua kāne ma ke ʻano he mea kūʻai aku, a ua hana ka makuahine i ka hānai ʻana i nā keiki.
ʻO ka wā kamaliʻi o Tony Bennett
I ka makahiki 10 o Tony, ua make kona makuakāne. ʻO ka lilo ʻana o ka mea ʻai hoʻokahi i hoʻoluliluli i ka waiwai o ka ʻohana Benedetto. Ua hele ka makuahine o Anthony e hana ma ke ʻano he humuhumu.
I loko o kēia manawa paʻakikī, hoʻomaka ʻo Anthony i kāna ʻoihana mele. Ua hana ʻo ʻAnakala Tony ma ke ʻano he hula tap ma vaudeville. Ua kōkua ʻo ia i ke keikikāne e "holo" i loko o ka pae o nā mea hoʻokani pila ma nā pā kūloko.
ʻO ka leo nani a me ka hoihoi i ʻae ʻo Tony ʻōpio e loaʻa. Ua hana ʻo ia ma ka ʻaha wehe o ke alahaka hou. Ua kū ʻo Anthony ma hope o ke kuhina nui o ke kūlanakauhale.
Ua noho aliʻi mau ke aloha i ke mele ma ka hale. Ua hīmeni ke kaikuaʻana o Anthony i kahi papa mele kaulana, a ua hoʻokomo kona mau mākua i nā moʻolelo o kēlā me kēia lā ʻo Frank Sinatra, Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, Judy Garland a me Bing Crosby.
Nā leʻaleʻa o ke kanaka ʻōpio
Ma waho aʻe o ka hīmeni ʻana, hoihoi ʻo Tony Bennett i ke kaha kiʻi. ʻO kēia ʻano hana noʻeau āna i koho ai ma ke ʻano he moʻolelo no ke aʻo ʻana. Ua komo ke keikikāne i ke kula kiʻekiʻe o Applied Arts, kahi āna i aʻo ai no ʻelua makahiki wale nō. Ua ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole ʻo kāna ʻoihana he easel, akā he kahua.
Ua haʻalele ʻo Bennett i ke kula, ʻaʻole wale no ka makemake e hīmeni, akā no ka pono o ka ʻohana. Ua lawe ʻo ia i kahi hana ma ke ʻano he waiter ma kahi hale ʻaina Italia e kākoʻo i kona makuahine. I kona manawa kaʻawale, hana ʻo Tony Bennett ma nā hōʻike mele mele.
ʻO ke ala o ka Artist i ke kaulana mele
Ua ulu ʻo Anthony ma ke ʻano o ke Kaua Honua II. Hoʻohanohano ʻia ʻo Tony e nā manaʻo pacifist, ʻaʻole kokoke loa ka hoʻokahe koko iā ia. Akā naʻe, ua ʻike ʻo ia e pili ana i kāna hana, no laila i ka makahiki 1944, i kona piha ʻana i ka 18, ua ʻaʻahu ʻo ia i ka lole koa a hele i mua. Ua komo ʻo Tony i ka pūʻali koa. Ua hakakā ke kanaka ʻōpio ma Farani a me Kelemānia. Ma mua, ua loaʻa iā Bennett kahi hana ma kahi pūʻali koa, kahi i hiki ai iā ia ke hōʻike i kāna mau taleni.
I ka makahiki 1946, i ka hoʻi ʻana o Anthony i ka home, ua paʻa ʻo ia e hoʻomohala i kahi ʻoihana mele. Ua komo 'o ia i ke kula leo 'oihana ma ka American Theatre Wing.
ʻO kahi mua o ka hana ma ke ʻano he leo leo he cafe ma ka hōkele ʻo Astoria. Maanei ua uku ʻia ʻo ia, no laila ua hana ke kanaka ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokele elevator ma ke kula.
Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Anthony he pono ka inoa o ka mea mele e hoʻomanaʻo ʻia. Ua koho ʻo ia i ka pseudonym Joe Bari. Me ia, hana ʻo ia ma ke kahua, hele i nā hōʻike TV, a hīmeni pū i kahi duet me nā mea hoʻokani kaulana. Ua ulu ka hana a Anthony. I ka pau ʻana o nā makahiki 1940, ua manaʻo nui ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila, ʻoiai e hoʻolimalima ana i kāna luna ponoʻī.
ʻO kahi makana o ka hopena ʻo Anthony ka kamaʻāina me ka mea hoʻomake ʻo Bob Hope. Ua ʻike ka mea hoʻokani kaulana i ke kālena a Tony ma kekahi o kāna mau hana wehe no Pearl Bailey. Ua kono ʻo Bob iā Tony i kāna hōʻikeʻike like ʻole. Me kāna waiho ʻana i ka makahiki 1950, ua hoʻololi ʻo Anthony i kāna pseudonym iā Tony Bennett.
Ma lalo o kēia inoa, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i kahi mana demo o Boulevard of Broken Dreams a hāʻawi iā ia i ka luna o Columbia Records. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e hoʻokuʻu i nā hits. ʻO kāna mele mele ʻo Because of You i poʻokela ma nā palapala kiʻi ʻAmelika.
Ua emi ka kaulana o Tony Bennett
ʻO ka hopena o nā makahiki 1960 iʻikeʻia e ka hoʻololiʻana i ka wā mele. Ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe mele mele e noho i nā kūlana alakaʻi o nā papa palapala āpau. I ka makahiki 1968, ua pi'i kāna album Snowfall / The Tony Bennett Christmas Album ma ka helu 10 no ka manawa hope loa.
Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Tony Bennett, me ka ʻae ʻana o ka hoʻokele o ka hale hoʻopaʻa leo hoʻopaʻa leo iā ia iho i kahi ʻano hou. Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo ia i ka pop rock i kēia manawa. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i kūleʻa ka hoʻokolohua. Hīmeni ʻo Tony i nā mele nui o kēia lā! paʻi wale i ka lua haneli pop albums.
I ka makahiki 1972, haʻalele ʻo Tony Bennett i ka lepili Columbia. ʻO ka ʻike kūleʻa ʻole o ka hui pū ʻana me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe i koi iā Tony e wehe i kāna ʻoihana hoʻopaʻa leo ponoʻī ʻo Improv. Ua emi ka hui ma mua o 5 mau makahiki, e pani ana ma muli o nā pilikia kālā.
I kēia manawa, ʻaʻohe pono o ka mea pena kiʻi 50 makahiki. Ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo ia i nā keʻena piha o nā "fans" me ka ʻole o ka paʻi ʻana i nā lekiō kiʻekiʻe. I kēia manawa, ua hoʻi ʻo Bennett i kona makemake ʻōpio - ka pena kiʻi. I ka makahiki 1977, ua wehe ʻo Bennett i kāna hōʻikeʻike noʻeau mua ma Chicago, a ʻelua makahiki ma hope mai ma Lākana.
He pōʻai hou i ka hana a Tony Bennett
I nā makahiki 1980, ua emi nui ka helu o nā mea hou. Hoʻomaka ka poʻe hoʻolohe e hoʻi i nā mele pop kahiko maikaʻi me nā mea o ka jazz. I ka makahiki 1986, ua hoʻololi hou ʻo Bennett i kāna hui pū ʻana me ka lepili Columbia a hoʻopuka i ka album pop standards The Art of Excellence.
Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻo ia i kāna mau mele i ka mea mele jazz ʻo Mabel Mercer. No ka manawa mua i nā makahiki 10, ua paʻi hou ʻo Tony Bennett i nā palapala. Ua hoʻomaka hou ʻo Anthony e hana i nā album.
I ka makahiki 1994, ua loaʻa iā Bennett ʻelua mau makana ma ka Grammy Awards no Album of the Year and Best Traditional Pop Vocalist. Ma kēia māhele ma ka Grammy Awards, lanakila hou ʻo Bennett i ʻehā mau manawa.
Tony Bennett: ola ʻohana
Ua mare ʻo Anthony Benedetto i ʻekolu manawa. ʻO kāna wahine mua ʻo Patricia Beach i ka makahiki 1952. Ua hui nā mea aloha ma kahi ʻahamele ma kahi hui. Ua pāʻani ka male i ka male ʻelua mahina ma hope o ko lāua hui ʻana. Ua noho pū lāua no 19 mau makahiki, e hānai ana i ʻelua keiki kāne: ʻo Dae lāua ʻo Danny.
Ua hāʻule ka male ma muli o ke aloha hou o Tony. Ma hope koke iho o kāna hemo ʻana me Patricia, ua male ʻo Bennett iā Sandra Grant. Noho lākou a hiki i 2007. Ua hānau ʻo Sandra i nā kaikamāhine a Tony: ʻo Antonia lāua ʻo Joanna. Ua komo ʻo Tony i kahi male hou me kahi kumu haʻawina pilikanaka mua ʻo Susan Crow. Noho pū lāua akā ʻaʻohe keiki.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Tony Bennett ma kahi hālāwai ninaninau ʻaʻole lawa ke ola hoʻokahi iā ia e hoʻokō ai i kāna mau moeʻuhane. Ke kali wale nei no ka hana hou ʻana o ka mea hoʻokani pila.
