Zeven albums uit de periode 1960-1962 op 4 CD's. De albums komen uit een periode dat zangers als Bennett overvleugeld dreigden te worden, in ieder geval op commercieel gebied dan, door rock 'n' roll en doo wop. In 1962 was hij weer top of the bill, als gevolg van het ook hier te vinden album "I Left My Heart In San Francisco", bekend om zijn titelnummer. Allmusic daarover: "n 1962, Bennett introduced "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," a ballad written by two unknown songwriters, George Cory and Douglass Cross, who had pitched it to his pianist, Ralph Sharon. Released as a single, the song took time to catch on, and although it peaked only in the Top 20, it remained on one or the other of the national charts for almost nine months. It became Bennett's signature song and pushed his career to a higher level. The I Left My Heart in San Francisco album reached the Top Five and went gold, and the single won Bennett Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Solo Vocal Performance, Male."
