It’s a shame he turned hard left in his old age. That ruined things for me.

Wow 96.

Too bad San Francisco didn’t age as well

My dad was a big fan. I remember his music being played in the house from when I was a toddler.

R.I.P., Tony. Say “hey” to my dad for me.

RIP after a very good run, and lasting legacy. I would never have believed Lady Gaga actually had talent if not for Tony Bennett’s duets with her.

One of my favorites was his English language rendition of Michel LeGrand’s theme song from the French musical The Umbrellas of Cherbourg:

The French original:

The American version is very American, crisp and highly-produced, whereas the French version is almost stereotypically Gallic, conversational in tone.

I love the era of the crooners and their songs, and he was one of my favorites. It’s music from before the world went ‘round the bend.

RIP

Last time I saw him was that Superbowl halftime show years ago. He was obviously drunk.

I think I saw Tony Bennett and Joe Williams perform together at the Concord Pavilion in California in the mid-to-late 1990s, but I can't find any record of it online.

Adios MoFo...

Two assholes who became wealthy in our country...while hating every minute of it.
