Re: Tony Bennett passed away.
Tony was always very thankful to Bing for paving the way for all crooners that followed him and gave so many a career.

Re: Tony Bennett passed away.
Our national daily newspaper The Australian published its obituary on Tony Bennett on 24 July which included quoted Tony Bennett's explanation for his enduring popularity: 'People like Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra told me not to sing songs that cater to one age group, but songs that appeal to everybody. And maybe because good songs last, that explains why I've lasted too.'
