Remembering Tony Bennett

ByPeppa Herrera
Happy Friday!Tony Bennett died today, and we’ve lost a great singer. He got Alzheimer’s disease in 2016 and still sang beautifully to the end. His passion for singing kept him sane and focused.

Here are three of my favorite videos of him singing:Tony Bennett “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” on The Ed Sullivan ShowTony Bennett – The Very Thought Of You (from Viva Duets)The Best of Tony Bennett – Tony Bennett Greatest Hits Full Album.Not only was he a great singer, he was also a movie star. He appeared in a few films, including The Oscar” (1966) and as himself in the films Analyze This (1999), The Scout (1994), and Bruce Almighty (2003).
