He’s one of the greatest singers ever, and yesterday he turned 96.
Listen, and be enchanted. Perfect pitch, perfect phrasing, and a voice like warm velvet.
I’m sorry his voice has gone — sheesh, it lasted longer than anyone had a right to expect — but we’ll always have Tony Bennett’s recordings.
Thank you, Maestro.
My son worked with him a few times in the last decade and described him as the consummate gentleman.
