Tony Bennett was remembered Friday by the worlds of music and entertainment after his death was announced at age 96. Bennett’s career spanned seven decades and seemingly reinvigorated across several generations, from his crooner contemporaries through the MTV age and most recently via his collaborations with Lady Gaga.
Overall, Bennett — whose remarkable life included being in the Army division, the 63rd Infantry, that helped liberate part of the Dachau concentration camp and who later marched with Martin Luther King in Selma — won 20 Grammys and sold 50 million records worldwide.
He also was named a Kennedy Center honoree. See below for reactions to his death, which include from the likes of Elton John, Brian Wilson, Nile Rodgers and the Amy Winehouse Foundation; Winehouse and Bennett teamed for the duet “Heart and Soul.” A post shared by Elton John (@eltonjohn) Today marks the end of an era, as we say farewell to Tony Bennett.
