An American musical and cultural icon, Tony Bennett, celebrated his 94th birthday on Monday. It's hard to express how fortunate we are that he's around to enchant us with his music and personality. A multi-talented creator known for his beautiful voice and for his paintings, Bennett is also a long-time champion of progressive causes. His fans are innumerable, and include Lady Gaga, Sting, Cher, Stevie Wonder and everyone else that's entertained us over his more than 7 decades of song. Still stylish, youthful and fit, he posted this brief "thank you" to his millions of well-wishers yesterday:
Thank you all so much for the wonderful birthday wishes! Your support and love is the greatest gift I could ever ask for. pic.twitter.com/rCNomM8Xss— Tony Bennett (@itstonybennett) August 4, 2020
Here are just three songs from his brilliant career which have stood the test of time, and are part of his legacy and the American songbook forever.
The happiest of happy birthdays!
