Tony Bennett, one of the greatest pop/jazz singers of all time, died Friday, July 21, at the age of 96. Correspondent Mo Rocca looks back on the life and career of the 20-time Grammy-winner with one of his sons, Danny Bennett (who was also his manager); and with NPR host Scott Simon, who co-authored Bennett's 2017 memoir, "Just Getting Started."

He did two albums with Count Basie and sings the song on one of the most iconic intros to a movie ever. Imagine Goodfellas opening with any other song.
