What a life well lived , the voice of the era, legend, master of reinvention never lost his class, charisma, vocal brilliance. Rip great Tony Bennett

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

People we love never die at all, they have such a special place in our hearts, they become double precious when they go in heaven with angels. Spreading good vibes is never enough friends, music is our salvation, great performers so sweet tender and harmless to caress our hearts are ...most wanted life maties, you can bet on it. He was so good bringing that kind of foreign pride, the true American spirit, free to be proud of your roots, no matter if so many news about Italy are so disappointing, the individual must prevail, helping us dismantle prejudices, villain urban legends, racism or discriminations is never enough, it's obvious how music raise us better humans, big loving hug Maestro Tony, rest in peace

Old soul here ❤ I've loved his music since I was a kid. His music, his legacy, will be with us - thankfully - forever.

I can't believe he just died 2 weeks before his 97th Birthday how sad. He was a very good singer.

Rest in peace great Tony Bennett. "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone who is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. Do you believe this?” She said to him: “Yes, Lord, I have believed that you are the Christ, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.” (John 11: 25-27)

[@DickNasty480]
