Thanks Knotyet. This is one of my favs....
Thinking about the Motown sound I have to mention the Impressions led by a hometown Chattanooga boy, Curtis Mayfield.
Tony Bennett has died age 96. After an Alzheimer's diagnosis in 2016 and last performing in 2021, having first performed at age 13. I felt privileged to post here, a little while back in his final years, a perfectly cogent solo performance recorded in his home, dinner suit and all.
As he aged, his voice changed, but in a good way. His phrasing too. His long term backing band,the Ralph Sharon trio served him well, Sharon on piano. A huge but inevitable loss of a brilliant singer who continued to perform longer than we could have hoped.

Don’s legacy will live on.
