Whew. Tony Bennett.

I have long admired your impeccable voice. It never lied. It never faltered even once, much like your character.

Rest well, amazing man. 🕊️ pic.twitter.com/AuXETIi8NB

Adios, Tony Bennett, who was demoted for having dinner with a Black friend in the military, who hunted Nazis and helped liberate Dachau prisoners, who marched with MLK, who promoted Black musicians in the 1950s and 60s, and who happened to also be an incredible singer and artist.
