Tony Bennett's son and manager, Danny Bennett, steered him onto Late Night with David Letterman, The Simpsons and finally MTV Unplugged in 1994, where he sang standards with guest k.d. lang and Elvis Costello. The album won the Grammy for album of the year and made a crooner in his late sixties fashionable with teenagers. Two decades later his duets with Lady Gaga extended that reach again. He died in 2023.
