Tony Bennett, the legendary pop, jazz, and big-band vocalist, has died. He was 96.
Publicist Sylvia Weiner confirmed Bennett’s death to the Associated Press, saying he passed away in his hometown of New York. His cause of death — just two weeks shy of his 97th birthday — has not yet been announced.
“I come from good Italian stock — but I’ve tried to stay fit through the years,” Bennett told me nearly 20 years ago.
At the time he was a spry 72, meeting and greeting concertgoers with swagger before a benefit performance in the blazing hot Sonoran Desert of Tucson, Ariz.
For two decades beyond that, the 20-time Grammy winner kept swinging as smoothly as ever — making history as one of the only artists to chart new albums in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, and the first three decades of the 21st century.

Saw him perform at Chastain Park in Atlanta in the mid-1990's. Wow!
A real professional!

Tony Bennett was a WW II combat infantryman. He saw brutal house-to-house fighting as the Allies pushed into Germany in 1945. He wasn’t some guy serving in an entertainment unit (not that there’s anything wrong with that).
Bennett later said that his combat experience influenced him to become a liberal. Quite understandable.
RIP

I saw him in person 38 years ago. He was as amazing as you would imagine.

Just think, with Dr. Feelgood's drug cocktails, we could have Brandon in the White House until he's 96...
