Tony Bennett, masterful stylist of American musical standards, dies at 96 😢
In approx mid-1990s I was out with PhD supervisor late (~1-2am) at a higher end lounge in St. Louis (at a conference there).
In comes Tony, dressed to kill - obviously just performed. Someone persuaded him to sing: Tony belted out not one but 2 songs, magnificently & without hesitation - a powerful, intimate performance. Class act, 100% 😀 Rest in peace. 🙏
