    Even when he was suffering from Alzheimer's he still tried to get back out to sing and succeeded. His short term memory may have been gone, but at least the years of songs and performing was always there. It never left him.

      My mom lived with Alzheimer's. She did recognize my brother at the end. He went in to tell her goodnight and she blew him a kiss. The next day, she had passed. She is buried with my dad in Santa Fe at the veterans cemetery. 😢 She and my dad loved Tony Bennett's music 🎵😢❤

      It IS, it's a horrible disease. My mother had it, for almost 10 years, passing when she was 76. In her last years, she didn't know any of us, except my Dad, she didn't speak, except for a few seconds every now and then, with only a few years. Most of the time, it was just a a vacant look in her eyes and pale skin. When she would have a brief lucid moment, her face would totally change, color would come back, she would look at you, instead of through you, a little sparkle in her eyes, and then a few seconds later, it was like a curtain dropped in front of her face, and it was back to those vacant eyes. It's heartbreaking.
      RIP Mr. Tony Bennett, free from Alzheimer's. Thank you for your talent, your music. My parents both loved you, and so did I.

    Over recent years, I’ve patronized a tattoo establishment that had employees working there who had very progressive appearances. Low and behold the music they played mostly consisted of Sinatra, Bennett and other artists from that era. The clientele were people from 18 to 75.
    I especially enjoyed when Bennett made albums of the standards with current singer. Thanks for your music Tony. It’ll live forever!

    My dad died from Alzheimer's. He was only 68. He was a skeleton of the man he'd been. He'd been in a coma for a few days when I finally got to him. He awoke and I talked to him, calling myself by my childhood nickname. He opened his eyes and he knew who I was. Two of my brothers were with me and we each took turns saying goodbye. Knowing he knew who we were, made it easier to see him go. This disease robs you of so much. It hurts so much

    My dad's aunt had Alzheimer's and sometimes it was really hard just being around her. She could remember something that happened 60+ years ago, but every couple minutes you had to remind her who you were or where we were going (we'd picked her up once to go to my grandfather's birthday party and I was like Anderson with Tony, having to keep reminding her who I was). In some ways she was the same woman whose house we went to when I was a kid, where she failed multiple times to teach me to play piano, and she took us to a farm in the fall to got fresh apple cider. But in others it was like dealing with a young child, whose emotions are sometimes fully out there to see (in the last few years, including the part above about the party, she was in a nursing home that had a unit for patients/residents with dementia, and it was hard to leave because she'd get so emotional as we said goodbye). Don't get me wrong, I loved her, but it was so hard to see her towards the end when remembering how she was before her diagnosis. It's sad that we were almost relieved when we were told she passed because she wasn't going through that anymore. Of course a surprise, at least for me and some of my cousins, happened at her funeral. We found out that her late husband wasn't the only one in that house who was a WW2 veteran. She was a Navy veteran, worked in communications, the exact nature of what she did, as far as I know, was still classifed that long after the war (even though most other things had been declassified years earlier) and got full military honors, first military funeral that I'd been to (been to 2 more since, for 2 of my uncles)

    Where Sinatra and the Rat Pack came across as having jaded corroded hearts, Bennett always seemed to be more genuine.
    Now, I never met any of these men so I don't know for sure.
    What's more, I'm not a great big huge Gaga fan. That's no hack against her or her fans. Your mileage may vary and all that. But I do feel that the serious work she put in to helping Tony Bennett was a generous and kind thing. My Jewish friends have a word for it in Yiddish: 'mitzvah'.
    For those unaware, a 'mitzvah' is a kind act or good deed done with no expectation of reward. The act is done for the sake of the good it does for everyone, for sake of the hurts it heals, for sake of the betterment of the world. And what Lady Gaga did with and for Tony Bennett, to give an old man in his dotage one last chance at the stage that was his life, to give music that many forget, downplay or don't respect and the artists that make it the respect they deserve, was a mitzvah.

    God loves you and takes care of you so that this message reaches you. God is the one who created this great universe and has complete control over it. And the greatest loss that a person loses in this life is that he lives while he does not know God who created him, knowing the Messenger of Muhammad, the last of the messengers, and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions. The great intelligence, before you believe in something or not, is to read it, study it, and understand it well, and then you have the choice to believe in it or not. I advise you on this now before you do not have time to do that.
