RIP Tony
Truly the last of the OG Italian American crooners
Never jammed him as much as Frank Sinatra or Dean Martin - who are staples for everyone with even a drop Italian blood running through his veins - but a legend nonetheless

RIP!

Gonna need to check more of his stuff. “Put On A Happy Face” was one of my little sister’s favorites when she was a baby and it was always a good time

Ugh. I was listening to the second Bill Evans/Tony B album when a pop-up appeared on my phone about Tony Bennett dying.

Thank you for the music, Mr. Bennett.
