Following it's successful broadcast on NBC this past Thanksgiving; the Emmy and Grammy-award winning "Tony Bennett: An American Classic" was released on Blu-ray December 12; 2006. Created and directed by acclaimed director Rob Marshall (Chicago and Memoirs of a Geisha); An American Classic is a ground breaking show staged as a contemporary reinvention of the variety special. In this "Docu-Musical"; Marshall and his entire Academy-Award winning creative team take us on an emotional musical journey of this legendary entertainer's life by re-creating the seminal venues of Tony's career: from the 52nd street swing club to the early Columbia recording studio; from the classic TV studios of the '60's to the "rat pack" Las Vegas stage; from Carnegie Hall to his triumphant performance on "MTV Unplugged". Throughout; Tony performs his greatest hits while joined by many of the superstars that appear with him on his recently released; platinum-selling Duets album. This show invites us to celebrate the life of who Frank Sinatra called "the greatest singer ever." As the special ends; Tony Bennett takes the empty stage; this time alone; to deliver a definitive version of his signature classic "I Left My Heart In San Francisco".
