Okay so I came across the Tony Bennett song "the way you look tonight" and I really like the song. It's relaxing... one of the slow dance songs I could see my grandparents dancing to. I was wondering if anyone who knows Tony Bennett and knows which song I'm referring to could recommend some others for me? It would be a perfect ending to a long day to relax and listen to this

Three Day Delay

Well, I could list a million of them, but this might get you started:

Frank Sinatra sang a version of that song that, in my opinion, is much better than Bennet's. You can't ever go wrong with any one of the 50 Frank Sinatra's greatest hits.

Paul Anka is fun to listen to, very relaxing.

Dean Martin, Jerry Vale, Bobby Darin all have some great stuff.

Nat King Cole is outstanding.....no better voice in music. Just don't be trapped into the Natlie Cole/duets thing. It is an aberration. His "Nights Lights" cd is incredible.

Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin are all outstanding. If you'd like some femininity to balance out the Rat Pack, a good place to start would be Billie Holiday or Ella Fitzgerald.

Other mellow standards you might like:

Tenderly
Moonlight in Vermont
One For My Baby
Autumn in New York
Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You

I would be remiss if I didn't mention a couple of albums perfectly suited to relaxing or any other time. No vocals, just some of the best music you'll ever hear:

Sunday at the Village Vanguard - Bill Evans Trio
Waltz for Debby - Bill Evans Trio
Kind of Blue - Miles Davis
