Tony was at Elton's Birthday Bash in NYNY at Madison Square Gardens and sang one song with Mary J.Blige-see ITV ONE (UK)this evening.
Just about everyone was there!
President Bill Clinton was introduced as 'THE LAST GREAT AMERICAN PRESIDENT'.

A great evening of beautiful songs from a Legend of whom we will never see the likes again.

Yes, a real good show again from Tony and there were no sign of any affects from his recent bout of influenza .

The best part was meeting you&Lena-after so many missed occasions AND someone had very cleverly seated you three away from us-
Every visit Tony seems somehow to raise his game-where he gets the power and strength is simply amazing. We'll meet again,H&L.
Off to Manchester this evening for another dose of BENNETT MAGIC.

It seems that David Jacobs was at the Royal Albert Hall to see Tony last Sunday.

He played "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" this evening.

and also Sinatra, Nat King Cole. Howard Keel with Jane Powell, (one of the best female singers in musicals) the fantastic Peggy Lee, with none other than
" The Folks Who Live On The Hill" and Marian's favourite Jack Jones singing "A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening."
Beautiful selection

After the show guests attended a Celebration Party at The Dorchester as Tony & Susan Crow his longtime girlfriend announced Wedding plans.

Thanks for veryifying that Mark. We weren't quite sure .

It was the way he phrased it after he finished playing Tony's song "I Left My Heart In SanFrancisco" saying... and how well it was received when he sang it last Sunday night at the Royal Albert Hall, .
