Released the month that Tony Bennett turned 80, this LP-length compilation of
his 1950s records gives a good account of his first decade of recording, even if
it does not live up to the greatest hits claim of its title. Some of Bennetts
greatest hits of the 50s are included, among them the Billboard chart-toppers
Because of You, Cold, Cold Heart, and Rags to Riches. But the compilers were
more concerned with presenting 46 minutes of highlights of the 50s tracks than
in following the singles charts. They signal this right at the beginning by
starting with Bennetts first recording for Columbia Records, The Boulevard of
Broken Dreams, which was not a hit at all. Proceeding in chronological order by
recording date, they exhaust the first half of the 50s, Bennetts most successful
as a singles artist, by the first half-dozen tracks, excluding numerous Top Ten
and Top 20 hits. In the second half of the decade, Bennett scored consistently
on the singles chart, but he only enjoyed one more Top Ten hit, In the Middle of
an Island (not heard here). He turned increasingly to the efforts of the top
Broadway songwriters, such as Comden-Green-Stynes The Partys Over from Bells Are
Ringing and Kurt Weill and Maxwell Andersons Lost in the Stars from the show of
the same name. These songs were not hits, but they were among his most memorable
recordings of the period, and they are featured here. Bennett also conducted
jazz experiments, such as recording an album with the Count Basie Orchestra, two
songs from which are included. Given its length, this album is no more than a
sampling of Bennetts 50s work, and it will disappoint anyone who actually
expects it to contain his greatest hits. But it does arguably feature the best
three-quarters-of-an-hour of his recorded work in the decade.~William Ruhlmann
