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.

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.[4]
