Tony Bennett, legendary performer and 18-time Grammy winner, has thrilled sold-out audiences worldwide for more than 70 years, selling ten million records in the last ten years alone. Known for timeless hits including "The Way You Look Tonight," "It Don't Mean a Thing If You Ain't Got That Swing," and more, Bennett has released more than 70 albums, charting 30 singles, and is a recipient of 18 Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award.

"We are incredibly excited and humbled to honor Tony Bennett with a magnificent birthday celebration at this year's Power of Love gala," said Larry Ruvo, founder and chairman of Keep Memory Alive. "We want all soon-to-be 90 year-olds to have the same vivacious spirit as Tony, which is the reason why we have this event every year: to support the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health's continued efforts toward enhanced treatments and research of horrendous brain diseases."

Previous Power of Love galas have celebrated the 70th birthday of boxing legend Muhammad Ali in 2012 and the 80th birthday celebration for Quincy Jones and Sir Michael Caine in 2013. Last year's gala hosted some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry including Celine Dion, Martina McBride, Robin Thicke and more as they honored Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli and his wife Veronica.
