At age 80, Tony Bennett remains passionate about his craft. He's been performing popular music, standards and jazz since age 16, when he dropped out of school to support his family, and has sold more than 50 million albums. He's performed for nine presidents and the Queen of England and been honored by the Kennedy Center and the United Nations. Equally skilled at painting, Bennett's artwork hangs in the Smithsonian. He keeps his musical style intact on his recently released CD, 'Duets: An American Classic.'
