Tony Bennett, the smooth American singer who had an enduring hit with I Left My Heart In San Francisco and remained perpetually cool enough to win over younger generations of fans well into the 21st century, has died at the age of 96, the Associated Press reported on Friday .
Bennett revealed in early 2021 that he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease in 2016, but he kept recording after the diagnosis and later tweeted,"Life is a gift - even with Alzheimer's." After serving as an infantryman in Europe during World War II, Bennett was singing under the name Joe Bari when Hope caught his act in New York's Greenwich Village. The comedian was so impressed that he had the singer change his name to Tony Bennett and used him as an opening act.
"People ask me, 'Don't you get tired of singing that song about San Francisco?'" Bennett said in a Reuters interview."I say, 'Do you get tired of making love?'"
