Whitefang Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just heard that this morning about an hour ago. The end of another era. That he kept working until the end is admirable. Not only a man of great voice, but of great character too. The world just won't be the same. Rest In Peace, Tony. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 My grandpa was one of them old-time Italians, and he really liked Tony. He was always listening to him when I caught him listening to his stuff. He listened to a lot of those old Italian-American singers. I guess I gained an appreciation for all of it probably because of him. Great grandpa... Just found his ring he gave me I thought I lost 10+ years ago... Either way, RIP Tony, say hello to my grandpa for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Tony was the real thing. There may be some more real thing left somewhere, but I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 A CBS evening news story about his death brought up a quote from Frank Sinatra in an interview Frank did some time ago. Frank said Tony Bennett was "the best in the business." Can't argue with that. Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
