The 96-year-old, best known for his 1962 classic I Left My Heart In San Francisco, died in his home city of New York on Friday.
Tributes have continued to pour in from musicians such as Bonnie Raitt, Mariah Carey and Sir Paul along with US President Joe Biden and former American leader Barack Obama.

Sir Paul wrote: “Very sad to hear that Tony Bennett has died. He was a special singer and a good friend.
“I was privileged to work with him on a few occasions and he was always a wonder to behold. Thanks Tony for the joy you brought to our world. Love Paul.”
In 2006, Bennett collaborated with stars including Sir Paul, Sir Elton John, Stevie Wonder and George Michael on his album titled Duets: An American Classic.

Paul McCartney Will Open Up About His ‘Life in Lyrics’ in New Podcast - Building off his bestselling book, 'The Lyrics,' the Pushkin and iHeartPodcasts production will arrive this summer. Season Two will come out in February and will focus on 12 more songs.
The podcast will reveal the stories behind some of his best-known songs, from his work in the Beatles and Wings through his solo career, on a new podcast, McCartney: A Life in Lyrics. Each episode will find him focusing on a single song — including “Eleanor Rigby,” “Let It Be,” and “Live and Let Die,” among others in the first season — in discussion with poet Paul Muldoon, who wrote the foreword to McCartney’s bestselling book, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present.
All 12 of the first season’s episodes will be available to stream at once with a Pushkin+ membership when it premieres on Sept. 20. Otherwise, fans can start listening to the first episode via iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify, and other podcast platforms that day. A new episode will come out every week, as Rolling Stone report.
