Yes, what a voice! Am I remembering that he'd been dealing with Alzheimer's?

True statement for sure. And every time I hear an age for someone like this, I had thought of them as at least a decade younger... 86 I would have believed more readily.

We were lucky to see one of his shows he did in Kansas City many years ago. He was a really go entertainer, especially when he was on stage...
He will be missed, but his music will live on..."Take me to the Stars"

My Dad was acquainted with him in San Diego.
I understand he was a wonderful gentleman.

R.I.P. Tony Bennett. All of my life, since I was a child, I kept hearing you singing about leaving your heart in San Francisco.

What a voice that man had. Saw him live years ago in a resort we were staying in at Lake George, NY. He just kept going and going with his beautiful songs.

My mom was a Toney Bennett fan. She had a few albums of his and after her death, we donated all of them to the library. That seems like eons ago now. I sure do miss her. Such a beautiful lady gone way too soon.
