Tony Bennett Dead at 96
- “Tony, because of you we have your songs in our heart forever,” family says
Tony Bennett has died at 96.
The crooner died July 21, his family said.
“Tony left us today but he was still singing the other day at his piano and his last song was, ‘Because of You,’ his first No. 1 hit,” Bennett’s family said in a statement.
“Tony, because of you we have your songs in our heart forever.”
No cause of death was given.
“The best of the best,” Stevie Van Zandt said in eulogizing Bennett. “The last of the legends. A man whose heart was as big as his voice.”
Bennett’s hit-making career stretched across decades and centuries from 1951’s “Because of You” to 2021’s Love for Sale album, a joint with Lady Gaga.
“What a legacy of not only superb, timeless music, but a class-act study in cool, grace and elegance,” Keith Urban said of the singer.
Bennett’s career earned him a genre-spanning legion of fans from Foghat, “what a legendary voice and great human being;” to Sawyer Brown, “there are legends … and then there’s Tony Bennett;” to Al Di Meola, “the most beautiful voice of our lives, our loves and our heartaches;” to Brian Wilson who is “thinkin’ of Tony Bennett” on the day of his death.
In 2012, Bennett performed “the greatest gig I had ever witnessed,” guitarist Joe Bonamassa said in a statement.
“It was like dropping a needle on a record,” he said. “He was the last of the greatest generation of singers and musicians.”
Bennett said in 2021 he had Alzheimer’s disease. He played his final show with Gaga in August of that year.
“That’s how you do it,” Vernon Reid said of Bennett’s “life as lyric.
“Music and art fully realized. So hip. So real. So alive as long as he lived. Before orchestras. Before trios. Before the blank canvas. G.O.A.T. with few peers.”

to avoid having feelings i tried to watch the top gun maverick movie last night. now i don't know if it's just that i've seen the original too many times, it was on the regular rent-from-the-grocery-store rotation as a kid, but yikes. how many beats from the original were they gonna hit. how hard did they lean into dead-goose as the source of trauma and conflict. man's got pictures of goose everywhere, goose's kid (who is of course a top gun grad) plays great balls of fire with those same randolph aviator style sunglasses at the bar. gets into a flying death spiral grief/anger fueled grudgematch with maverick during a training exercise. wtf. i bailed after 40 minutes. it's so well reviewed, i don't get it. i get playing on nostalgia, but this was. so much. and i've cried enough over goose in this lifetime, thankyouverymuch.
the one solidly good thing i got out of it though was putting slow ride in my main playlist. because it sounded damn good in that bar scene.
youtube
har har 86 on the jukebox. because the original movie was from 1986. good god, man.
#top gun maverick#also so many shots just plain recreated like the motorcycle rides and the aircraft carrier beginning with the same music no less#i have a hardon for fighter jets and fast bikes like anyone else but come on#foghat#slow ride#Youtube

“One of Our Greatest Singer-songwriters:” Gordon Lightfoot Dead at 84
Gordon Lightfoot, the Canadian troubadour who found massive chart success both at home and south of the boarder while earning the respect of his contemporaries, has died, his management said.
“It is with profound sadness that we confirm that Gordon Meredith Lightfoot has passed away,” it read.
Lightfoot, 84, died May 1 of natural causes at a Toronto hospital, the statement said. The hard-touring musician had recently cleared his 2023 concert calendar citing health issues.
“The world is a lesser place without him,” Bryan Adams said on social media. “I know I speak for all Canadians when I say: ‘Thank you for the songs, Gordon Lightfoot. Bless your sweet, songwriting heart.’”
Lightfoot was “one of our greatest singer-songwriters,” Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement.
“Gordon Lightfoot captured our country’s spirit in his music – and in doing so, he helped shape Canada’s soundscape,” Trudeau said. “May his music continue to inspire future generations and may his legacy live on forever.”
That soundscape might be best defined by the CBC-commissioned “Canadian Railroad Trilogy” from 1967. In releasing 20 albums between 1966’s Lightfoot and 2020’s Solo, Lightfoot heard his songs recorded by everyone from the Kingston Trio to Bob Dylan to Watkins Family Hour.
Lightfoot’s death elicited reactions from across generations and genres on social media. Among them: “What great music he gave us” (Foghat); “Brilliant” (Michael Feinstein); “You made the world a better place” (Jerry Douglas); “An amazing writer; an amazing singer” (Joe Newberry); “The Mark Twain of folk music” (Michael Des Barres); “Gordon really had the gift” (Jason Isbell); “Rest in peace” (Brian Wilson).
“We’ll never stop singing your songs,” Choir! Choir! Choir! said in a statement.
Among the best-known of those songs are “Early Morning Rain,” “If You Could Read My Mind, “Sundown,” “Carefree Highway,” “Rainy Day People” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”
In eulogizing the “Canadian treasure,” Steve Poltz recalled how Lightfoot would voluntarily play “soul-crushing,”“tweener” sets at Canadian festivals, leaving the spotlight to younger musicians.
“Gordon Lightfoot was a gift to the world,” Poltz said. “We were lucky he left us such a treasure trove of beautiful songs. Godspeed, you beautiful troubadour.”
