America is (supposed to be) a Republic, NOT a democracy. Learn the difference, help end the lie. Fear a government that fears your guns.

A number of years ago I was watching an interview of Frank Sinatra on teevee. In the interview, the host asked Sinatra who he thought was a good singer? Sinatra answered, "Tony Bennett. He's got the best pipes in the business." I thought that was somewhat telling.  L.W.

RIP Tony, your fellow performers thought you were the best of your time, not much better can be said of you as a person when you are gone.

Sorry guys but that man could not sing!!! He kind of talked the words with rhythm, but he had a high level of COOL about him. He just looked and acted cool. RIP.

One of my favorite singers. Saw him a few years ago at Radio City. His voice sounded very well considering his age at that time.

Tony Bennet couldn't sing? There might be a few people who disagree with that. Such as every other performer for the last half a century, and hundreds of millions of fans.
But you're the world's acknowledged critic, right?

I saw him at the Plaza Theater in El Paso about a decade ago. It was a good show.
RIP
