Tony sang this song when the fog didn't have a silly nickname which was named by a non local

in 2004, I got to see Tony in concert at the Greek Theater in LA. As soon as he started to sing "I Left my Heart in San Francisco' everyone was clapping and cheering! What a great performer! RIP Tony Bennett.

Thanks very much to one of the legendary music icon Tony Bennett for sharing his talent and his great voice to the world since 1960's which we admired and loved. We are lucky that he was still around performing and singing until 3 days ago that we heard of his passing. He was also a great artist and painter. Gone but not forgotten.

I once bought his 3CD set from KQED saying as a gay woman Tony Bennett would be the only human I would consider switching sides for. 🤣 they did announce it on radio and it was even funnier then. Love this man 💐💕

[@ariloves10]

It's still pretty funny and sweet now too ☺️

[@aob94608]

I still get a chill when I hear him sing that final verse
