| (EZ-Tracks) - Tony Bennett, a masterful vocalist has been selected to snag the 2006 Billboard Century Award! Bennett, nearly a century old himself, will grab the award at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas this coming December. The Billboard Century Award is of epic proportion and by far the grandest honor Billboard has manufactured to date. The Billboard Century Award was cooked up by the former editor in chief (Timothy White – now dead) and the former publisher (Howard Lander). Tony Bennett’s newest groundbreaking record (Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic) which will be released on September 26th is chockfull of celebrities like you’ve never seen them before. The spectacular Elton John, Billy Joel, Bono, Paul “The Bachelor” McCartney, and notorious Barb Streisand are still some of the hottest acts in town and even they were powerless to resist Tony’s collaborative charm. However, Tony Bennett’s duets would’ve been all the more amazing if he’d been able to nab more of the previous Century Award Winners. In addition to Billy Joel, Tony Bennett should’ve worked hard to get Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, John Mellencamp, Annie Lennox, Sting, Tom Petty, James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Randy Newman, Chet Atkins, Carlos Santana, and Buddy Guy (or at least the ones that are still alive). | ||||||||||||
