Tony has died at the age of 96, two weeks short of his 97th birthday.
As a small child in East Africa I remember very well liking his recording of Rags To Riches which was played often on the radio. I had no idea who he was back then, I just liked the song. I never really started to appreciate him until about 30 years ago.
R.I.P. Tony Bennett.
