MTV Unplugged is a live album by Tony Bennett that was released in 1994. Backed by his usual Ralph Sharon Trio, Bennett appeared on the TV show MTV Unplugged, which despite being a superfluous platform ("I've always been unplugged," Bennett noted), showcased the Great American Songbook. Rock stars Elvis Costello and k.d. lang made guest appearances.[1]
The album reached platinum record status in the United States and won the 1995 Grammy Awards for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance and Album of the Year.[2]
