Director Martin Scorsese and musical contemporaries like Elton John, Billy Joel and Bette Midler paid tribute to Tony Bennett after his death at age 96 on Friday.
“Tony Bennett was a consummate artist. All you have to do is listen to any one of his hundreds of recordings to recognize that,” Scorsese wrote in a statement. “Very early on, his music quietly wove itself into the fabric of our lives,” Scorsese wrote in a statement. “His voice felt as familiar and as close as the voices of our loved ones. I know that this was true for millions of people around the world.”
The jazz singer died at 96 years old at his home in Manhattan.
