CNN's Jim Acosta is joined by singers Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Bublé to talk about legendary singer Tony Bennett, best known for singing “I Left My Heart in San Francisco." He passed away at age 96. #CNN #News
@@captaingoodguySentientA.I. His statue is in front of the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco and the street was renamed in his honor. He will be remembered.
There's no doubt, Tony Bennett had the chops, he had such a great voice. But what did it for me was that this man, would smile with his eyes, he had such a great poise, that smile would always put you at ease. What a great life he had... Bless you sir, thank you.
I remember how much in my youth the myth that each generation has its own popular music, and has to disdain or despise the music of other generations. So it's heartening to see, instead, how Bennett was able to connect so truly and truly and meaningfully across generations. That's the way it should be: all music is for everyone!
Just hear “ Emily” by Tony Bennett to hear sheer perfection , gorgeous, gorgeous song , it show cases Tony’s clarity , his voice the power it had but of all his music that I loved , it’s “ Emily” that you can really hear his remarkable talent , Sinatras favorite RIP Tony now you can sing to the angels.❤️you will be missed.
May the memory of Maestro Bennett be a blessing. He was the most generous master of the American Songbook, and his duets with younger singers and other established greats reflect the openness and encouragement he brought to his collaborations. Watch and listen, for example, to his Viva album duets with Latina/o stars--he always gives room for his duet artist to carry the melody, to make the most of their own gifts, to find a way to meld feeling and both languages.Maravilloso. Ask Lady Gaga, the late Amy Winehouse, KD Lang--ask the other greats how much he helped to make them great. After all, Frank had Tony sing "Ave Maria' at his own funeral--we all can now join in the chorus to the heavens on his arrival.
6:21 You know you’ve done right when you can look back and understand people are looking to you be the one to do the same for them as your role models did for you.
I love this....without Sinatra, we'd never have Bennett, then we wouldn't have the modern crooners like Connick Jr. or Buble. Artists pave the way for others in magnanimous ways.
Love is Life And Life is Love... And Tony Bennett the Greatest Troubadour of the Songs of Life ✨️ conveyed this sentiment in every song that he sang to us all throughout his lifetime... Tony Bennett is and will always be the embodiment of Love of Life ✨️ 💙✨️🙏✨️💙
Beautiful words Michael keep making Tony Bennett proud of you i am . You and Tony Bennett just in time video was beautiful. Tony Bennett was a one of a kind right till the end.
A legend. A titan. A gloriously wonderful human being. Tony Bennett gave us great music and a terrific standard to follow in our dealings with other people. Thank you, Mister Bennett.
Never let him go guys, his voice his tracks are ...the perfect immortality medication above all, when such a great guy goes in Heaven with angels it feels like guilty of losing him
I love Harry Connick, Jr. and enjoy Michael Buble. I was always surprised that neither Sinatra or Bennett asked Connick to contribute to their "Duets" albums. I think Buble had it right in mentioning several of the inspirations for the newer artists that sing the standards, Sinatra and Martin and others. Tony Bennett, himself, always was quick to mention his own inspirations when talking about the music he loved to perform.
How Human Nature Works Human nature is the desire to receive, also called “desire to enjoy,” and it functions by receiving what is beneficial to itself and rejecting what is harmful. Everything in our lives is built upon this calculation where we first try to distance ourselves from harm, and then seek how to draw ourselves closer to what is beneficial. Human nature also includes a multilayering of systems that work simultaneously on still, vegetative, animate and human levels. One of those systems is our bodily one, which operates involuntarily. If our bodies are healthy, then they know what is good for them and draw that goodness to themselves. After the bodily system, there is the emotional system, which also functions relatively according to instinct. From the emotional system, we move to the mind, and from the mind to the intellect, and so on. That is, we have systems over systems that concurrently work on receiving what is beneficial and rejecting what is harmful. Such is human nature and the essence of our lives. Our every desire, thought and action operates according to the calculation, “How can we receive what is most beneficial to us and reject what is harmful?”
I'm a bit surprised that Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Bublé both appeared on the same program at the same time. I've always assume that these two be the rivals and don't like each other. The song repertoires and selections and the voice quality are quite overlapped and both are often comparable to each other. Everyone feels the same I believe. I'm not sure CNN was indifferent or perhaps intentional, but at least they completely separated the interviews with them, which was a relief, and yet feel awkward still...
Why not? I don't know Bublé's work very well, but Connick sings a lot of his own material. May I remind you that Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were best friends?
No. Look at the pictures of him in his youth--especially in the military, where he could not have worn a hairpiece. His hairline, the curl, the thickness was consistent.
Buble was not bragging about a romantic girlfriend. He is a happily married father of four. He was making the point that even a young 24 year old female friend was a huge fan of Tony Bennett, who was over 70 years older than she was.
