Tony Bennett, the eminent stylist and last of the great saloon singers whose devotion to classic American songs and knack for creating new standards such as "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" graced a decadeslong career, has died at 96.
I saw him in concert about 8 years ago, and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to. RIP, Tony. Your music has brought me much joy throughout the years.
