今更の紹介もいらないほどのアメリカ(イタリア系)の超大物シンガー、
トニーベネットが96歳の生涯を閉じた。
フランク・シナトラに音楽業界最高の歌手と言わせたほどの大シンガー。
人によってはベネットはシナトラよりも本物だと言う人がいるくらいの人です。
数えきれないほどのレコーディングの中から2000年以降に積極的に行ってきた
デュエットアルバムの中から2011年にリリースされて話題になった「Duets II」を
紹介して彼の偲びたいと思います。
ベネットは96歳の大往生でした。 R.I.P.
このレコーディング後にエイミー・ワインハウス、ナタリー・コール、
アレサ・フランクリンも他界されています。
重ねてご冥福をお祈りします。
