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.

Sony Music Distribution included this CD in a box set entitled The Complete Collection, which contains fifty-eight of his studio albums, 4 compilation, three DVDs, six volumes of Bennett’s non-album singles, a previously unreleased CD of his Las Vegas debut from 1964, and two discs of rarities, including Bennett’s first recording, an Army V-Disc of “St. James Infirmary Blues, and was released on November 8, 2011.^[3]
