Legendary singer, legendary man, legendary career, legendary life.
He squeezed about as much as you can out of life. God Bless and God Speed to a class act.

I was fortunate enough to see him twice. Once at the Bass Performance Hall in Ft Worth then again here in Tulsa at the Hard Rock. Truly an amazing talent.

What a legend. I was lucky enough to see him live a couple years ago in a very small venue. The crowd was crazy for him.
His son was his manager, Danny Bennett, who resuscitated his father's career by parading old Tone down the red carpet at every mid-'90s hipster event that attracted a camera. The incongruity of Tony Bennett next to k.d. lang and the Red Hot Chili Peppers made for great gossip-page photographs and generated enough heat to get Dad his own MTV Unplugged, and that's where Tony really shook things up. He stood by the piano in his shiny suit and sang the exact same standards he has been singing since Larry King was a boy. People marveled — What a voice! What taste! What class! But the only thing that had changed was the context. Danny Bennett stated clearly that Tony Bennett was a gem, a beautiful diamond in any setting. He was right. RIP Tony |

Was just talking to someone the other day how I can't believe he's still kicking. What an absolute legend. Frank got all the hype, but Tony is my favorite of the crooners hands down.

This one hurts.
He fought on the front line in both France and Germany in WWII. |

Parents loved him, so I listened to a lot of Mr. Bennett as a kid. Great voice and entertainer, as well as a humble and courteous man. RIP, sir.
