A Jazzy Crooner to the Last - RIP Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett was, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest singers in all of history. Known for his style with Jazz and Pop, Bennett was a swingin' kind of guy. He was not just a singer, but he was a hero when he fought in the final years of World War II.

With achievements such as 20 Grammy Awards, a Lifetime Achievement Award and 2 Daytime Emmys, Bennett was a pop culture icon. So much so, he collaborated and sang with other famous people such as Aretha Franklin, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson and his last one ever did and did it multiple times in his final years was with Lady Gaga. And yes, he sang with the Muppets a long time ago.

Bennett passed away at the age of 96 after a 7 year bout with Alzheimer's Disease, which prompt him to retire after all these years.

Next to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett's style of music will live on forever. Godspeed, Mr. Bennett. Be at peace, you old crooner you.

If you want to know the rest of his history, look him up on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Bennett


I will leave you with one of many times he collabed with Lady Gaga. Short but sweet, and you will get the idea of how much a legend Tony Bennett truly is. Until next time, stay frosty, my friends.
