Now music may be supposed to live the soul. But one of the world’s most famous musicianshas just given the BBC a rather dispiriting message. Tony Bennett best known for his songssuch as I Left My Heart In San Francisco has told the BBC that most songs written today areterrible. He had his first No. 1 single back in 1951 and it sold more than 15 million records since.At the age of 87 he still performs live around the world and releases a new album this week. It’scalled The Classics and spans a 60-year career in show business. Our arts correspondentRebecca Jones has been talking to him. “There was a bar tender in the club and I wasrehearsing. And he said ‘I don’t mean to interrupt your rehearsal’, he said, ‘but that song youjust sang is that if you record it, I’m gonna be the first one to buy that record.’ And that waskind of a hint that it might become a popular song but had no idea that it would become mysignature song through the years. And you know most performers get tired of gettingclassified with one song.”
现在，音乐爱好者都希望音乐能展现灵魂的东西，但是世界著名的顶级音乐人在接受BBC采访时，表示当前的音乐市场并不尽如人意。托尼·班尼特，代表作有《我把我的心留在了旧金山》等，在接受BBC采访时说，现在，大多数歌曲都很糟糕。他的第一个冠军单曲发行于1951年，累积卖出1500万张。87岁时，他仍然进行世界巡演，并于本周发行了新专辑——《经典》。这张专辑是对他60年娱乐圈生涯的总结。本台文艺记者丽贝卡·琼斯对他进行了采访。“当年我在一家俱乐部排练，一个吧台服务生对我说：‘我不是有意要打断您的彩排，我想说，您刚才唱的歌要是能刻录成唱片，我第一个买。’我觉得那是一种暗示，这首歌有可能要火。但我确实没想到它会成为我这么多年的一个代表作。而且你也知道，大多歌手都不希望大家提到他就只想起某一首歌。”
