I as well saw him perform numerous times; the shows were impeccable. I was, as I am, so happy I took my camera with me. I will treasure the photos I took.
He has always appeared to be a true gentleman, a humanitarian. I’ve heard his songs my entire life. And, kudos to this forward-thinker for recording duets with Amy Winehouse, K.D. Lang (a fave), and Lady Gaga. RIP to one of the greats.
Life is Love And Love is Life... And Tony Bennett the Greatest Troubadour of the Songs of Life ✨️ conveyed this sentiment in every song that he sang to us all throughout his lifetime... Tony Bennett is and will always be the embodiment of Love of Life ✨️ 💙✨️🙏✨️💙
Thank you for giving this tribute to a great entertainer. No one phrases a song like Tony Bennett. Very pause is timed to his perfection. It’s like a poetry reading from the poet. He feels every nuance of emotion, and presents them to the listener. A beautiful man, whose stylish voice will be heard forever . Thanks Eric in Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for this excellent program for this wonderful singer and very definitely a wonderful human being. I was fortunate to have seen his live concert in Sydney 5 decades ago.
When asked if he got tire of singing “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” His respond was “Do You Get Tire of Making Love??” 😉👍. Sylvia, San Francisco, California
I was shocked to hear he was gone. There will only be one Tony Bennett. He had fantastic hair😊 and he grew into his nose👃 and he grew into our hearts ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎and he will be there forever more. Heaven must be exhausting to be able to listen to him and thusly on the other side of the rainbow.
I couldn’t find words to describe how I felt after come to the end of this documentary on Tony Bennet. What a rough life he had passed through, especially in his early years. Such a fighter with beautiful soul he was! Absolute deserved all his successes. I love the man, and his music. RIP Mr.Tony Bennet. He’ll always be fondly missed, remembered. My admiration and respect. A v well done biography. Thank you for uploading. Your work is appreciated.
I was lucky enough to see Tony for my birthday on the 28th of June 2017 in London at the Royal Albert Hall, he was 90 years old and his performance was sublime. He was such a great humanitarian. Thanking God for his life and the beautiful body of work he left behind. Nature gets us all finally, it is in control. You are loved and will be missed 😢❤💔Beautiful documentary. Thank you.
Had the pleasure to see Tony in concert on 4 occasions in Glasgow,as far back as the 60s,with Count Basie and then Buddy Rich. What a performer,from an era when Music was Music.
Thank you for everything king, maestro and troubadour of song Tony Bennett. He is now reunited with all the greats in entertainment, his dear friends. Without saying a word, his presence and gregarious ageless energy speaks class, magic, and a everlasting golden boyish charm. Simply unforgettable, we will certainly forget him not. ❤ ♥️
Just put the music to the hearts fans & never let any evil dare to harm you, Tony Bennett music is just puuuurrfect indeed, the best regenerating medication possible, l agree with you fans
i loved this man ! i own 9 albums & 4 cd's -----------saw him only 3 times, I wish it had been 300 ! -------A class act, all the way. --------RIP.--------------------MJL< 76 y/o
I've been listening to Tony since l was 18 when as a Boy Scout l heard his singing "Because of You" Eversince then l have been his fan. I am now 87 years young and still his fan in Fiji. Rest in Peace, Sir James Ah Koy.
My FAVORITE album is " To My Wonderful One" 1960 Strictly cosmopolitan! Love it. I play it at dinner parties. Chic and sophisticated. Next: The Harold Arlen songbook. Bennett= Class.
My Favourite Song Has To Be "I Left My ❤ In "Sanfrancisco " Yes it is a Cliche" but No -One Did It The Justice It "Deserved"but The Forever "Loved" Tony Bennett ❤️. Sing To The "Angels Now. And Always know You ❤️ Will Be Forever"Loved and Missed" Angela.❤❤❤xxxxx
I'm sorry that I only learned more about him now, after his death. What an amazingly humane man and artist. Also, this documentary is as much a love letter to New York City. I lived there 22 years, and even though this footage was of years before that, it makes me miss that city.
Mister Benedetto R.I.P. Grande artista e Grande Italiano d' America ,70 anni di carriera 20 Grammy ,oltre 100 LP ,una vita che definire leggendaria è poco.
He brought the humanity in singing. I once saw him and Sammy Davis JR. singing a duet together. Both men are deeply part of memeriies I will remember until I go.
Ralph Sharon and Bennett parted ways in 1965. There was great pressure on singers such as Lena Horne and Barbra Streisand to record "contemporary" rock songs and, in this vein, Columbia Records' Clive Davis suggested that Bennett do the same. Bennett was very reluctant and, when he tried, the results pleased no one. This was exemplified by Tony Sings the Great Hits of Today! (1970), before which Bennett became physically ill at the thought of recording. It featured covers of Beatles and other current songs and a psychedelic art cover. Years later, Bennett would recall his dismay at being asked to do contemporary material, comparing it to when his mother was forced to produce a cheap dress. By 1972, he had departed Columbia for the Verve division of MGM Records (Philips in the UK) and relocated for a stint in London, where he hosted a television show from the Talk of the Town nightclub in conjunction with Thames Television, Tony Bennett at the Talk of the Town. With his new label, he tried a variety of approaches, including some more Beatles material, but found no renewed commercial success, and in a couple more years he was without a recording contract.
I guess everyone just lumps “contemporary” music in with rock n roll. Rock n roll is like a I IV V, I VI IV V, I II V I, I III IV V, type chord progression. He recorded songs like MacArthur Park and Eleanor Rigby on that album. Contemporary Pop hits of the day, yes. Rock ‘n’ roll definitely not. But thank you for the info. You filled in all the blanks for me which I greatly appreciate. I like his version of MacArthur Park btw. Appreciate your help and knowledge of this great artist 👍
@@mtp4430 My pleasure. However, I failed to make proper attribution. I simply copied and pasted from Wikipedia. 🙂 Thanks for your informative and generous comments.
@@karlhungus5554 Your Welcome. When my Mother bought that album with the pseudo psychedelic cover and an illustration of Tony in mod clothing, it just felt all wrong. The man was a great jazz and pop standard vocalist, but it’s a business, and the business was changing. However, history will show that artists like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra, survived the tidal wave of the British invasion, and kept going strong for many years there after.
@@mtp4430 Absolutely right about Tony and Frank, sir. Good music is good music. I primarily listen to them, along with the other singers and musicians from that golden age of entertainment such as Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Oscar Peterson, Jo Stafford, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, and on and on. I actually never listened to either of those two Tony Bennett albums from 1970. I'll at least have to give "MacArthur Park" a listen, since you mentioned it specifically. Plus, given your former remarks about chord progression, it seems you must be a musician. So, that says a lot. I've purposely avoided listening to both Tony's and Frank's "contemporary" albums from that time, after running across a track of Sinatra singing "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown." It was just too painful. I love Jim Croce singing it, but not Frank.
What is your favorite Tony Bennett song or memory?

visuals too frequently do not mesh with what is being narrated sometimes bordering on the ridiculous.
