Tony Bennett on Holiday is a 1997 studio album by Tony Bennett, recorded in tribute to Billie Holiday. [3]

In 1998 Bennett won his fifth Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance for his work on this album.

The final track, " God Bless the Child", was an electronically created "duet" with the long-dead Lady Day and Count Basie; it received poor notices, unlike the rest of the album.
