Tony was terrific singing “God Bless America” and “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” at the World Series. He is WAY young for his age. Keep on singin’ Tony!

He may well be the last of the “saloon singers.” More’s the pity.

I first heard Tony singing "Rags to Riches" getting airplay in, IIRC, 1954. I guess he left an impression. Years later he came up with his signature tune about SanFran.

But I think my all-time favorite is this guy (<--youtube link), especially when he met up in the final decade of his career with George Shearing. If you decide to click on it, be sure to listen to both songs in the clip.

And if you can find them together somewhere on the web doing "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square," go for it!
