I didn't care that much for Bennet from that period or before. His voice mellowed and became much more musical as he aged.

We usually ask Alexa to play his music 2 or 3 times a week on our Sonos. He was a great singer. One of our friends was related to him.

To each his own. I like all his "periods". (BTW:Since you are one of the spelling gurus, it's Bennett
Thanks for the reply,

I am a life long Tony Bennett fan. A few years ago, a mutual friend invited me to join him and Mr. Bennett for lunch in San Francisco. We spent a couple of hours just talking. And Tony was so gracious, unassuming and fun. Not much different than the way he is on stage. I have met and spent time with a whole host of performers and writers and musicians, including presidents of the US. But Tony Bennett may well be in a league of his own.

You are quite fortunate to have had those experiences.
Thanks for sharing
