Thread Name: Obit: Tony Bennett (Benedetto) (1926-2023)
Subject: RE: Obit: Tony Bennett (Benedetto) (1926-2023)
The New York Times just this week published an article detailing Tony Bennett's commitment to civil rights, going back to his World War II service in Europe. Perhaps Tony Bennett's keeping company with the likes of Harry Belafonte is sufficient to compensate for the fact that he didn't sing the sort of music that Belafonte et al. sang.
