關於本電子書
“As breezy and meaningful as one of his trademark songs as readers learn about the man by the company he kept and the heroes he worships.” —Booklist
“For my money, Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business, the best exponent of a song. He excites me when I watch him. . . . He moves me. He’s the singer who gets across what the composer has in mind, and probably a little more.” —Frank Sinatra
Tony Bennett was one of our most vibrant musicians ever to grace the stage. In his previous book, Life Is a Gift, Tony reflected on the lessons he learned over the years. In Just Getting Started, he pays homage to the remarkable people who inspired those lessons.
In his warm and inviting voice, Tony talks about who and what have enriched his own life, including Charlie Chaplin, Judy Garland, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Cole Porter, Amy Winehouse, Fred Astaire, Lady Gaga, members of his family, and more. Just Getting Started chronicles the relationship Tony enjoyed with each one of these legends, entertainers, humanitarians, and loved ones, and reveals how the lessons and values they imparted have invaluably shaped his life.
As unforgettable as his music, Just Getting Started is a beautiful compilation of reflections every Bennett fan will treasure, and a perfect introduction for those just getting to know this remarkable star and humanitarian.
“Fans of heralded crooner Bennett will revel in this inviting charming book.” —Publishers Weekly
“What comes through in all forty-two chapters is the singer’s gratitude . . . Let’s hope this new generation can learn a lesson from Mr. Bennett’s unflagging class and graciousness. —Wall Street Journal
