Tony Bennett, the eminent and timeless stylist whose devotion to classic American songs and knack for creating new standards such as “I Left My Heart In San Francisco” graced a decades-long career that brought him admirers from Frank Sinatra to Lady Gaga, died Friday. He was 96.
Publicist Sylvia Weiner confirmed Bennett’s death in his hometown of New York.
While no specific cause was given, Bennett had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016.
He recorded more than 70 albums in his lifetime and earned 19 competitive Grammys — all but two after he reached his 60s — and enjoyed deep and lasting affection from fans and fellow artists, according to The Associated Press.
