Description

A singer since childhood, Tony Bennett (1926- ) is the last of the crooners to come up during the Big Band era. His final stage performances took place in August 2021, after which he surprised the world by retiring on the advice of his doctor. One last duo recording with Lady Gaga was released in autumn 2021, and there’s every chance this 95-year-old singer, painter, mentor, and philanthropist, will be adding to his numerous Grammy awards.
