Tony Bennett R.I.P.

Impex Records writes: “One of the greatest jazz and pop singers of all time, and one of the last great crooners of the mid-20th century, Tony Bennett passed away at 96, less than two weeks before his 97th birthday. Tony had been living with Alzheimer’s for some time and gave his last public performances in 2021 at Radio City Music Hall. He always had his finger on the pulse of popular music, interpreting great American standards and creating new standards in the American songbook.

In recent years, he was known for working with Lady Gaga, recording the very popular albums Cheek to Cheek & Love for Sale. Tony was one of the nicest and classiest artists in the music business. He will be missed”
