Buon Compleanno!
I know him a little bit. A great singer - especially in his later years. Nice guy; very, very dim with awful politics. And his daughter is a true horror. An awful woman who hides behind her father’s dim-witted niceness.
The definitely NOT Tony Bennett version of “San Francisco”:

I have 6 of his songs on my Spotify
My favs are “Fly Me To The Moon” and “The Lady Is A Tramp” with Lady Gaga.
There. Fixed it.
What’s interesting is Tony is a democrat and Hillary supporter... Instead of being in Phillie for Hil’s big speech... Tony was in Washington DC that night having done a show.I suppose his age demographic is not one Hillary is worrying about.
Tony Bennett is unbelievably overrated and an imbecilic moonbat and leftist tool.
Tony Bennett is a leftist. And he’s a leftist because he’s a combat infantry veteran of WW II, and he saw some horrific fighting as the Allies pushed across the Rhine and into Germany.
That experience turned him into a pacifist, and a leftist. Quite understandable. So I’ll give the old vet a complete pass on that, and instead just enjoy his music, which I do very much.
He lost his singing talent about 40 years ago. Can’t stand to hear him sing, especially when he chuckles instead of singing a a note that he can’t reach.
Once he started supporting leftist causes that was the last straw.
