20 is an album by American singer and pianist Harry Connick Jr. It was recorded when Connick was 20 years old, and released in 1988. It is his second album from Columbia Records, but his first album with vocal (on 6 of 11 tracks), from the label. As with the eponymous album that preceded it, Connick dedicated 20 "to the memory of my loving mother, Anita Connick."
