Tony Bennett Facts

  1. Tony’s ailing father was unable to work in his later years and had passed away when Tony was just 10 years old. Consequently, he had started singing for money from the age of 13 and would work as a waiter and singer at several Italian restaurants in and around the area of Queens.
  2. He had served in the US Army in the later stages of World War II, until April 1945. He was also involved in a mission that led to the liberation of a Nazi concentration camp in Landsberg, Germany. After the war, he had joined the Army military band and used to sing under the stage name ‘Joe Bari’.
  3. In 2001, he had founded The Frank Sinatra High School of Performing Arts in Queens, New York City, in honor of the iconic musician and his long-time friend Frank Sinatra.
  4. In September 2011, when his album Duets II had topped the ‘Billboard 200’ chart, he had become the oldest living musician in history to have scaled that peak position. Exactly 3 years later, aged 88, he had broken his own record when his duet album with Lady Gaga, titled Cheek to Cheek, had debuted at number 1.
  5. In 2016, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease.
  6. In August 2021, Tony and Lady Gaga released a new song titled I Get a Kick Out of You. The duo later released the title track from their album, Love For Sale in September 2021. Later that month, the duo released the album, Love For Sale.
