My little brother was so taken with that song! He used to walk around the house singing it. He also liked to sing Standing on the Corner, Watching All the Girls Go By.

RIP

Not too many of the Greatest Generation's favorite entertainers still with us except Tony Bennett and Doris Day. Losing far too many of Boomer entertainers too

Not that many of the old crooners still around other than Tony Bennett.

Condolences to his family and your music will live on!

At least that's what the linked article says. I'm pretty good at separating the art from the artist, but I wish I hadn't read that.
