    I always like watching and listening to him, he and Lady Gaga were magic in my humble opinion. He was one of the last two great crooners we had left. Paul Anka is the last man standing.
    R.I.P. Mr Bennett, you'll be missed!

    Those two became very close friends, lived across the street from each other in NY. I'm sure she feels like she just lost a parent right now. Agree on the magic they had, I loved their work together, what a blessing it must have been for her to work with him..

    That's a good run RIP. I sure hope he took his heart back the last time he left San Francisco.

    Shame indeed but 96 is a good age. Listened to Tony a lot. His collaborations with Lada Gaga get played quite often as I enjoy them, R.I.P.

    Seen him several times in Vegas
    Always funny, entertaining, and voice was still great in his 70’s and 80”$
    These were lounge settings which were always personal and special
