Well, this isn't sad news. It's a life well-lived. Becoming a famous jazz star admired by millions, singing and surprising audiences for decades, working with so many stars and living to almost a hundred years is one huge accomplishment. All we can do is just applaud him for his work and most importantly: his legacy. Thank you, Tony. 👏👏👏👏
He was a great entertainer and will be missed. I usually only drink on ocasions. I'll be having a drink tonight. Thank you for your contribution to the art Tony. RIP
Rest In Peace, Legend ❤ I discovered Tony Bennett for myself just a few years ago, and immediately fell in love with his voice, with his music, with the soul he was putting into every piece he made, I also loved his album "Love Is Here To Stay" with Diana Krall. May his voice will never be forgotten ❤
The last of the old-school greats in jazz/pop music, who inspired many of the new-school vocalists. And like my mom and dad, Alzheimer's may rob you of immediate recall, of recognizing and communicating with people...but when something you've done all your life - in his case, his music and voice - THAT brings you back to life. Thank you, Mr. Bennett. Thank you.
Tony Bennett was an exceptional human being. He was humbled by his part as a serviceman in the Army during WWII and having taken part in the liberation of the Landsberg concentration camp where over 30,000 victims were imprisoned under inhuman conditions, resulting in the death of around 14,500 of them. His personal testimony allowed him to see the danger of the Nazi movement and a recent US president's ignorance of this dark period in history that cost Bennett and others like him so many friends and countrymen. This world was blessed to have had Tony Bennett's presence.
I saw a gallery of his watercolor paintings 20 years ago in Maui, and have never forgotten how impressive they were & are. Not a lot of people know he's an accomplished painter as well. Also an epic stoner. He claimed to smoke 20 joints a day, at one point in his career. Look it up ! A true legend.
Alzheimer's may rob you of immediate recall, of recognizing and communicating with people...but when something you've done all your life - in his case, his music and voice - THAT brings you back to life. Thank you, Mr. Bennett.
One of the greatest voices of a generation is a massive understatement. He was a true living legend in every sense. Tony was the best. No one could capture the essence of a song like Tony. He will be missed, but his music will live on forever. May he rest in peace.
So much Joy was given to us all thru his Music and his Gentlemanly ways.... RIP MR BENNET... Sarrowful Condolences to his Wife and Family.... Your Voice and Grace will be greatly missed...
Tony Bennett, an american singer. I love to hear his voice. I live here in San Francisco most of my life. That is Greatness. I'll be 74 years old in September. My parents and Grandparent love him. I have 4 LPs....my mothers' collection. My heart is still in San Francisco. Thank You, Tony, We are playing your song. Herman Jones and friends at the Outsider Cocktail Lounge San Francisco, CA.
PS to my earlier comment: Tony Bennett always sings the verse! The many witty and thoughtful verses that lyricists craft often go unsung by even the other master singers Tony uses the verse to set us up for the main body of the song, kind of inviting us to guess that song's identity. Honor the verse, Tony once observed in an interview.
He was one-of-a--kind and so was that musical era. And all I keep thinking of is Academy Award winner Adrien Brody in the role of Tony Bennett if ever they decide to make a film about his legendary life.
Thank you, TONY BENNETT for doing your part to help save and tame mankind with your gift and talent. Truly last of the golden age crooners and a legacy that cannot be undone. In the meantime, I'll do my part to keep the music playing.
It is sad news. Wonderful singer who has kept the Great American Songbook alive. He also was a wonderful painter. And he helped liberate one of the concentration camps at the close of WWII. A true legend. Irreplaceable.
I saw Tony Bennett in Switzerland at the Montreux Jazz Festival at 74 years of age and he mesmerized the crowd. The best anecdote I remember from Tony Bennett was when he said that when he went through a few years of hard times and no gigs, every month a check would be in the mail to cover his expenses. It was signed by Frank Sinatra. That is an example of a true friend. Italy has 65% of the world's culture it has been said and the Italians I know are people who never let you down. Frank Sinatra sang in a way that captured 3 generations, Tony Bennett's brilliant vocals really took you to the moon and back when he sang the tune Take Me To The Moon. He might have left his heart in San Francisco, but Tony Bennett's legacy is for the whole world.
Anthony Dominick Benedetto, known professionally as Tony Bennett, was an American singer. Bennett amassed many accolades throughout his career, including 20 Grammy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award, and two Primetime Emmy Awards.
Sad; "I left my heart in San Francisco" had a special meaning as my relatives were from the Lafayette, Orinda area. It was/is very wistful for me. My mother had several of his albums in the 60's we would sit on the floor and listen to . I had singing aspirations and he was one of my idols .
I wish K.D. could embrace Tony after singing with him, like she used to…..many hearts are broken and sad. How lucky K.D. To have shared the art of singing and a special friendship with this beautiful soul. May Tony shines forever in a magical place, somewhere over the rainbow! ❤❤❤
If not, one of the last crooners has closed the curtain on a life well blessed . Not perfect, but honest, open, humble. He may have left his heart in San Francisco , but he gained many fans young and old. A style all of his own. Thank you, Mr Bennett Ciao, God bless you 🙏 Condolences to the family. Legend Humanitarian ❤
Eu o amo.... Tony Bennet.... Como preencher esse vazio?????? Vóz maravilhosa.. . .inesquecível..... Saudade eterna! Difícil viver sem essa voz belíssima! 😢😢😢😢

Don't cry because Tony's gone. Cry because Tony lived a very beautiful life. Condolences to his family - and to Lady Gaga.
Exactly
I am worried about Gaga I hope she's okay because they were close
Rip Anthony Dominick Benedetto, you will be missed
RIP to a legend… You will be missed
I can't stop shedding tears (a bit surprised at myself). He embodied New York. He embodied jazz/artistry. He embodied how to live life.
Rest In Peace, Legend ❤

A musical legend that will be admired for generations to come. Rest with the Angels, Mr. Bennett.

This isn't sad! It's a celebration of his life.
Tony Bennett made it close to being a 100 yesrs old.
May his soul rip!
I had the absolute honor and pleasure to see perform him live in Atlantic City on my 35th birthday. AMAZING!!! The last of the truly great ones!
That's absolutely amazing. How are you doing?
Very cool. Heaven sent.
I never saw him live but I loved Tony Bennett. He brought such beauty to our lives and we need that so much.
A musical perfectionist and a true gentleman. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.
“The Shadow of Your Smile” was my wedding song 💗 RIP lovely man with an angelic voice ..

So much Joy was given to us all thru his Music and his Gentlemanly ways.... RIP MR BENNET... Sarrowful Condolences to his Wife and Family.... Your Voice and Grace will be greatly missed...
It’s hard not to be sad and heartbroken to see him gone. We all left our hearts to him, one of the best singers and human beings.

What are you talking about? PS explain that!
RIP Tony Bennett
May his voice with those harps up above still bring us sunshine in our hearts forevermore.
RIP Legend - your whiskey-polished Smooth Vocals will live on forever. He was phenomenal.
He was one-of-a--kind and so was that musical era. And all I keep thinking of is Academy Award winner Adrien Brody in the role of Tony Bennett if ever they decide to make a film about his legendary life.
RIP Thank you for all the great songs! You will live on forever
He lived a full life what a great legend. Rip 🙏❤
I’ve seen him perform and he was magnificent. Such a great performer
Rip yet another one of my absolute standard singing inspirations
Why is it a shock - Tony was 96 and had been in ill-health for several years.

The Last of the Classic Crooners. I saw you perform in Illinois Tony. We'll ALL MISS YOU MR BENNETT ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❗
Tony Bennett was 8 years older than Elvis! R.I.P.
96 is a great age. Sad, not surprised or shocked. Rip.
He had a beautiful life, saw him at St. George Theater on Staten Island a few years back. Great show
One of my ❤️ singer…😢
CNN: "This comes as a shock to many" Umm he was 96. RIP legend.
Sad News RIP Tony ..You brought Magic with your voice into our lives . A Legend ...

RIP Legend.your music will be unforgotten.🙏
R.I.P + Never Forget + Great Personalities
RIP fine gentleman. Another from a classy generation passes. They are missed more & more these days.
What a legend. Thank you for a beautiful life…❤
Veteran and Civil Rights marcher as well! This man was the template of a great American.
I admired him decades ago! This is a very sad day...
Rest in peace. He was great
he's now flying to the moon, I love the way he sang that song
RIP and god bless Mr. Bennett. Now you can hang out with Frank, Dean, and Sammy D in that big band venue up above. What an amazing man and career!
What an icon. I loved you Mr. Bennett.
Never regretted working for him. How are you doing?
Nothing to say-only LOVE!
Noooo I can't believe he just died 2 weeks before his 97th Birthday how sad. He was a very good singer.
One of the great voices of the twentieth century
He never sang in Chillingbourne. 💔
It's really hard watching anybody go through this
I wish K.D. could embrace Tony after singing with him, like she used to…..many hearts are broken and sad. How lucky K.D. To have shared the art of singing and a special friendship with this beautiful soul. May Tony shines forever in a magical place, somewhere over the rainbow! ❤❤❤
I loved him
What a loss😢
If not, one of the last crooners has closed the curtain on a life well blessed .
Not perfect, but honest, open, humble.
He may have left his heart in San Francisco , but he gained many fans young and old.
A style all of his own.
Thank you, Mr Bennett
Ciao, God bless you 🙏
Condolences to the family.
Legend Humanitarian ❤
It's very heartbreaking
Tony Bennett ❤ Left his blessed heart in 💚 💙 New York 🧡
God bless him❤
End of an era of the great crooners born in the 1920s. This leaves only Johnny Mathis of the great singers of the pop era born before 1940.
May he rest in peace and his voice never be silenced! Now he can preform on a different stage.
Very sad news. Indeed, Mr. Tony Bennett was a legendary singer.
A long beautiful life...
Eu o amo....
Tony Bennet....
