6. He was born in the borough of Queens in NYC.
But he did sing the song, and he's Italian-American.

11. I don't know Tony's politics,
but he's always struck me as a genuine class act.

13. Tony is a good Dem.
Edited on Thu Jan-04-07 03:11 PM by mac56
From NNDB:

"Politically he is a middle-of-the-road Democrat. He was quietly involved in the early-60s civil rights movement, and he is still proud that he was the first white singer to record with Count Basie's band."

14. Tony Bennett
As a musician, Tony has been a spokesman for Civil Rights for many years. There's a quote by him that goes something like (paraphrasing) musicians don't care about black or white. The question is can the cat sing?
