NEW BIO. ON TONY BENNETT

FROM NEW BIO. "ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE"


Tony Bennett is 85 now. He is inevitably frailer today, he walks more slowly. He relishes the iconic status he has achieved. Still he walks alone without an entourage or body-guards through Manhattan streets he adores, usually with his little dog Boo in his arms, alive to the moment and responsive and accessible to strangers. His son, Danny Bennett said of his father, "he is one of those people who has to do what they do. He will die singing."
