I'm a big fan of this one from The Simpsons:

 

[wvjules]

He was a surprise guest at a Billy Joel concert in MSG that I went to a few years ago. The crowd went wild when he came out. It was a great surprise. I'm glad I got to see him.

I adored him. Nobody gave a song an inflection quite like he did. RIP.

 

[Meriweather]

RIP.....loss of another great one

 

[Lord Manhammer]

As a lifelong lover of the Great American Songbook, this one hurts. His work with Gaga was amazing. RIP.

The last of the classy crooners. There will never be another like him. If anyone here is a reader, you'll likely enjoy his autobiographical books, particularly the one that shares fascinating stories about the other singers he's worked with and how each enriched his life or taught him something inspirational - from Sinatra to Lady Gaga - and many in-between. Really enjoyed it.

Love him!!!
We lost an amazing talent, but Heaven gained a wonderful angel - he always seemed like a great man. May he rest in peace.

*We always park on the Tony Bennett floor at the parking garage we use off Michigan Avenue. It’ll be extra special when we park there tomorrow.

Sad to hear. He lived a good life. My parents were of his generation and were big fans, so I grew up hearing his records. Their wedding song was “Because Of You”, which was Tony’s first big hit. Sweet memories for me always. RIP
