Tony Bennett's signature song, "I Left My Heart in San Francisco", yesterday marked its 50th anniversary from its original recording date (January 23, 1962)! 

The song garnered Bennett his first Grammy for "Record of the Year," and as a Grammy nominee this year for "Duets II", he holds the longest span of Grammy nominations in the music industry.
