"Much as Tony Bennett's music is appreciated, so will be this insightful book about the man behind the music."

-- Gay Talese

"David Evanier's 'All the Things You Are' is a work of profound empathy and musical understanding. Tony Bennett lives in these pages as a matchlessly joyous singer whose brilliance refracts from a deep and subtle soul."

-- James Kaplan, author of
"Frank: The Voice"

"The great thing about David Evanier's biography--beyond its reliable research, nuanced evaluations, and stylistic eloquence--is that by looking closer at a great artist than the artist might have wished, it uncovers a man even more worthy of our admiration than we knew; a valiant defender of Civil Rights as well as the classic American songbook and the singer's right to enhance it by his own light."

-- Gary Giddins, author of
"Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams

"A heartfelt tribute. Evanier's passion for Bennett shines through."

-- PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY
