Tony Bennett's "Something" is a 1970 studio album by Tony Bennett. [2] As with Bennett's previous album, Tony Sings the Great Hits of Today! , it contains renditions of contemporary pop songs, including "Something", which had appeared on the earlier release. In recording Something, Bennett largely avoided the physical disgust he had with the previous album, a change that an Allmusic review credited to more tasteful arrangements. [1]
The album cover shows Bennett embracing his infant daughter, Joanna.
