Acclaimed music icon Tony Bennett died today at the age of 96. Born in New York, maintaining a studio, not a mere twenty minutes from Guci Image in Northern New Jersey, we thought it is fitting to pay tribute to the man who was known for his voice, far and wide.
Mr. Bennett was also known as one of those celebrities courting a “does he, or doesn’t he, wear a hair piece” controversy most of his professional life.
The hair wear question pops up from time to time concerning our better-known celebrities. As we have reported and have all probably seen, there is a score of websites as much devoted to considering who has or has not had plastic surgery as those looking to ‘out’ the hair facts of men and women making big cultural strides. Ultimately, we all know it doesn’t matter much who is wearing hair as opposed to who isn’t. Surely, the question over a legend like Bennett sporting a male hair unit is pretty much inconsequential when regarding the man’s contribution to the culture.
Still…people talk and always will.
Certainly, actors, politicians, and sports figures are under more scrutiny than any of us could ever imagine. But in the end, fitting yourself with the very best male CTR unit, state-of-the-art extensions, or high-end Lace Wigs will keep you confident, looking your best and well out of the eye of detection….or even consideration.
Beyond how people come to consider how great your hair looks.
But, back to Bennett:
From coming on the scene in 1949 and signing with Columbia Records in 1950, having that seminal hit in 1962 with “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” Bennett scored 18 Grammy Awards (and a slew of nominations), stayed a relevant hit-making voice throughout a score of decades, and later was known for his duets with Amy Winehouse, Diana Krall and a pair of recordings with Lady Gaga, who he made his last public appearance with at Radio City Music Hall in August 2021.
A legend, hair wearer or not, we say goodbye to Tony Bennett.
