Default American Icon and singer, Tony Bennett passes away at 96.

Tony Bennett, the crooner and timeless vocal artist whose passion for classic songs and gift for creating new music won Tony not only crital acclaim but new fans the worl over. Tony had fans from Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga over a decades long career.

Tony had been diagnosed with Alzheimers disease in 2016. Tony had a gift for bringing to life such timeless classics from the likes of the Cole Porter, Gershwins, Jerome Kern to Irving Berlin.

Quote:
From his initial success as a jazzy crooner who wowed audiences at the Paramount in Times Square in the early 1950s, through his late-in-life duets with younger singers gleaned from a range of genres and generations — most notably Lady Gaga, with whom he recorded albums in 2014 and 2021 and toured in 2015 — he was an active promoter of both songwriting and entertaining as timeless, noble pursuits.

Mr. Bennett stubbornly resisted record producers who urged gimmick songs on him, or, in the 1960s and early ’70s, who were sure that rock ’n’ roll had relegated the music he preferred to a dusty bin perused only by a dwindling population of the elderly and nostalgic.
