Eighty-five year-old Tony Bennett has aged every bit as gracefully as the song that put him on the map. Presenting, in more or less chronological order, five decades of Tony Bennett (and others) performing “I Left My Heart in San Francisco:”
Watch Tony grope a playfully receptive Judy Garland during their duet.
Includes the feisty, broken-hearted bridge Bennett performed in the song’s earlier years.
