Tony Bennett, born Anthony Dominick Benedetto, died on July 21, 2023, at 96. He was a legendary singer with a career spanning over seven decades.

Bennett started his singing career in 1949 after serving in the army for three years. He was discovered by Bob Hope while performing in a nightclub, and at that time, his stage name was Joe Bari.

Hope invited him to New York’s Paramount Theatre and encouraged him to change his stage name because he reckoned it was not memorable. He could not settle on his birth name since it was too long, so they eventually landed on Tony Bennett.

One of Bennett’s most loved songs was “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.” His long-standing career earned him 19 Grammy Awards and a Lifetime Achievement Award. He also sold about 50 million records.

In the announcement of his death, a Twitter post stated that Bennett still sang by his piano, and one of the last songs he performed was “Because of You,” his first number-one hit.

Bennette was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2016, but his family kept it private for four years. His wife, Susan Benedetto, also his full-time caregiver, remembered the day the singer realized something was wrong.

She said they had just gotten home after a show, and Bennett mentioned that he could not remember some of the musicians. Susan thought it was normal for some in their mid 80’s, but the singer insisted that it was something more serious.

Shortly after that incident, the award-winning singer was diagnosed. His wife explained that they kept his condition a secret because the “Body and Soul” singer wanted to entertain his audience without them knowing he had a problem.

But as time went on, it became obvious that something was wrong with Bennett. Nonetheless, Alzheimer’s never took away his love for his music and fans. The singer would still be friendly every time his supporters greeted him.

One of his last public moments was when the singer was photographed in a wheelchair on a sunny day in New York. He wore a pale blue T-shirt and dark blue sweatpants. He was being wheeled around by one of his caretakers in Manhattan just a few weeks before his passing.

A source that saw the singer in the park said only a few people noticed him while he was in the park. Although people might not have noticed Bennett during his outing, he was a proud New Yorker and had a bench with his name on it in Central Park, which was also reportedly one of his favorite spots to sit in the afternoons.
