I love Tony Bennet - more in his later years (1990s forward).
On "that other social media site" @Mik commented on Bennet and Lady Gaga...
This is just wonderful. They are both great artists, and, some might say that Gaga is his match - she can do ANYTHING . And, she can do it well.

There is some good stuff here

She really is an amazing talent. This reminds me of a (60 minutes?) segment I saw recently about Bennet's severe case of Alzheimer's (or something similar) but he got on the stage with her and sang for hours with Gaga in front of a large crowd.

I had no idea he was suffering with Alzheimer's.

I saw Tony Bennet live in 2019. He was fantastic, but what really struck Karla and I was there was no break between songs. He went straight through a 90 minute set with barely 3-5 seconds for applause between songs. We were amazed by the stamina but I can’t help but wonder if it was related to his Alzheimer’s now?

The show on CBS last night was fantastic. I highly recommend you find in On Demand, or maybe Youtube.
