The legendary New York pop and jazz singer died last week aged 96.
I've been listening to his "I left my heart in San Francisco" this week. What a beautiful voice. It's made me want to get started into some Jazz.
His passing marks the end of an era. A classy national treasure. One of the great jazz crooners.
I've read a few of his obituaries. He was drafted to fight in WWII, and it seems present at the liberation of a concentration gamp in Germany. He also grew up in poverty and lived through the Great Depression. Truly the last of his era.
I'll be listening to some more of his music. RIP
