Sources of Information
- New York times, 22 July 2023:in a front page obituary (Tony Bennett; born Anthony Dominick Benedetto on Aug. 3, 1926 in the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, grew up in Astoria, died Friday [July 21, 2023] in Manhattan [New York], aged 96; a singer whose melodic clarity, jazz-influenced phrasing, audience-embracing persona and warm, deceptively simple interpretations of musical standards helped spread the American songbook around the world and won him generations of fans; Mr. Bennett's career of more than 70 years was remarkable not only for its longevity, but also for its consistency; from his initial success as a jazzy crooner who wowed audiences at the Paramount in Times Square in the early 1950s, through his late-in-life duets with younger singers gleaned from a range of genres and generations, [Bennett] was an active promoter of both songwriting and entertaining as timeless, noble pursuits; when starting out before being drafted and serving in Germany during World War II, he performed at amateur shows using the stage name Joe Bari; during the mid-1970s when his relationship with Columbia soured, Mr. Bennett formed his own company, Improv Records which went out of business in 1977)
