Can you believe Tony Bennett is 90 years old today (August 3)?

I saw Tony Bennett last summer at Tanglewood when he was touring with Lady Gaga, a really great show but get this, Tony Bennett ran from the wings to the center of the stage at 89 years of age. An amazing performer!

I just remembered that I saw him at the Cape Cod Melody tent about thirty years ago.

I saw Tony Bennett from a distance a long time ago while on a trip to San Francisco. He ran then. Maybe he hates signing autographs? He and Frank Sinatra are legendary. And Lady Ga Ga is also a great young talented singer with versatility. She shocked me with her talent.

WOW!!
Saw Tony in Scranton PA in the '50's when he was first starting out (Stranger in Paradise; Rags to Riches, etc).
Saw him & Lady Gaga in NYC last year (he did look a bit older but the voice!!).

One of the best there ever was or ever will be. My next door neighbor used to work for him. One year my neighbor throws this big party and asks to use our oven they're cooking so much. I get out if the shower, dripping wet, wrap a towel around me and go in the kitchen for a glass of water. There's Tony Bennett, head in the oven, checking on the roast.

His duet with the late Amy Winehouse is a masterpiece.

He will be a Ravinia, in Chicago, on August 13th. I have tickets. Really looking forward to the concert!
