Tony Bennett: Music
built 649 days ago
Tony Bennett might be the last of the pre-rock crooners. His smooth, relaxed, from-the-heart singing went out of style long ago, and there were many years when Bennett seemed absent from music, but he has been singing for so long, he does enjoy periodic resurgences in popularity. Perhaps because he has occasionally been out of style, he signs autographs without complaint, buys his own cigarettes, tours without bodyguards, and tips generously. Those who have encountered him -- fans, waiters, taxicab drivers -- describe him as just a nice, seemingly ordinary guy.
