Tony Bennett, the last of the great mid-20th century crooners, died today at 96.
Bennett's signature song may have been I Left My Heart in San Francisco, but that was but a miniscule part of a legacy that includes 70 - SEVENTY - albums and 19 competitive Grammy Awards.
Late in life, he drew in a new generation of fans as he mentored Amy Winehouse, befriended and worked with Lady Gaga, and became the oldest performer to have a number one record on the Billboard 200 at the age of 88.
What a life.
Thanks for letting us tag along Mr. Bennett.
RIP
