## Summary

The article is a personal, opinion-led rundown from American Songwriter highlighting three songs from Tony Bennett's more than 70-year career that the writer finds particularly moving. It is not a news report but a retrospective celebrating Bennett's musical legacy through a small selection of standout recordings.

The three tracks featured are "Rags To Riches" (1953), which spent eight weeks at No. 1 and was later revisited as a duet with Elton John in 2006; "The Lady Is A Tramp", included on Bennett's 2011 Duets II album and part of his broader collaborative work with singers including Lady Gaga; and "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" (1962), originally released as a B-side that became one of his signature hits after its intended A-side underperformed.
