At ninety, musician and artist Tony Bennett is as vibrant and productive as ever. In addition to his prodigious musical output, which includes albums, concerts, and personal appearances, this beloved and enduring singer has written his next book. While in his 2012 work, 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, engaging tone, Tony talks about Charlie Chaplin; Judy Garland; Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; Cole Porter; Amy Winehouse; Fred Astaire; Lady Gaga; members of his family; significant places; and other wonders that have enriched his own life. Recounting his relationships with these entertainers, humanitarians, and loved ones, in Just Getting Started, Tony reveals how he has been shaped by the principles each of them imparted to him.



As enchanting and unforgettable as his music, Just Getting Started is a beautiful compilation of reflections every Bennett fan will treasure, and serves as a perfect introduction for those just getting to know this extraordinary star and generous spirit.
