    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.

    Oh...there's more.

    What masters these people are. Singing songs from one of the greatest songwriters of the 20th century.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      I listen to this, and other things, while I'm mowing the lawn.

      There is some good stuff here

        @george-k said in "I Get a Kick":

        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.
