    Whoever in the Johnny Carson team chose this performance by Tony Bennett truly has good eyes, ears and senses. He singing that invariably sad “Here’s That Rainy Day” in the presence of his contemporary Johnny who loved that song - that really hits home. I could not be sadder that we now have to miss both of those two legends of entertainment. But at the same time, I am so grateful that we had them. Thank you, Tony, for being a great guy on stage and off stage! You were a legend, you will always be one.

    Tony Bennett is my all-time favorite crooner.
    I saw him in concert about 15 years ago & he was fantastic.
    Nat King Cole is another of my all-time favorite singers, & that little duet with Tony was superb.
    I just read the next post & I'm crying as I write this.
    I can't believe it; Tony Bennett is gone.
    It's the end of an era that will never come again.
    Anthony Dominick Benedetto, thank you for making my life so much richer & fuller because of your vocals. Peace be with you always, Dear, Kind Sir- RIP.

    I could have watched another hour or more of this clip. This was the gold standard of entertainment, now gone. We still have great artists, who can do this music, but they are not in the forefront, except someone like Buble. I saw Tony Bennett perform in my hometown 10 years ago - he was 87 - and did 20+ songs. He was brilliant and in incredible voice. If he had not become ill, he would still be performing, as he had been until last year. His voice was still there. And his artistry. Thank you, Mr. Bennett, for decades of pure greatness.

He was from a long lost era of performers, who performed, not lip-synched or mailed it in. Here’s hoping this caliber of performer returns in a new era. They’re badly needed and lacking.

    Watching this just made me cry ----------tears pouring down my face. ' Here's that Rainy Day " , is my all-time #1 song by Mr ?Bennett. From his finest album, ever, 1973, " Tony, With Love " . ------Folks , this is the kind of music, the likes of which, we'll not ever hear, again. --------------------MJL, 76 y/o

    - Favourites Song of Tony's; and one of my Favourites of This Gorgeous Gaga Lady who takes time to help those who have stumbled - - The Lady is a Tramp. (Orange Colored Sky is another of Lady's NOT to be missed.)
    - One of the Best Duets if not Collaborations Ever.
