"Tony Bennett at Carnegie Hall" with the Ralph Sharon Orchestra and Trio. To me, this 1962 live recording shows Tony's voice in it's best form ever on record. Of the newer stuff, I like "Perfectly Frank"

No - never mind - "When Joanna Loved Me" is . Actually, the best is "This Is All I Ask". Can't decide. Bill Evans, on a later album, mentions that the latter undoubtedly belongs to Tony Bennett. Of course, their collaboration is incredible. Wasn't there a sequel?

I would rather listen to unplugged version on Red Book CD
