The legendary Tony Bennett recently announced his retirement from performing at the age of 95. Famous for his singing career, he has also had a passion for painting. In celebration of his career that has spanned eight decades, I have been doing a series of haiku inspired by Mr. Bennett's artwork (when he paints, he uses his given name, Antony Benedetto).
Last week, 60 Minutes
on CBS aired a piece about Tony Bennett’s final performance at Radio City Music
Hall with Lady Gaga. Mr. Bennett is now living with Alzheimer’s disease and the
story of his farewell performance is beautiful and inspiring. Here is the 13-minute program segment.
