In this poignant message, Lady, as Bennett used to call her, vividly portrays their extraordinary journey together.“I will miss my friend forever.
I will miss singing with him, recording with him, talking with him, being on stage together. With Tony, I got to live my life in a time warp. Tony & I had this magical power.
We transported ourselves to another era, modernized the music together, & gave it all new life as a singing duo,” she began.“But it wasnt an act. Our relationship was very real. Sure he taught me about music, about showbiz life, but he also showed me how to keep my spirits high and my head screwed on straight.
‘Straight ahead,’ he’d say,” she recalled. “He was an optimist, he believed in quality work AND quality life. Plus, there was the gratitude...Tony was always grateful.
He served in WWII, marched with Martin Luther King Jr., and sang jazz with the greatest singers and players in the world.”According to Lady Gaga, their age difference didn’t matter in their friendship. “I’ve been grieving the loss of Tony for a long time. We had a very long and powerful goodbye,” she wrote.
“Though there were 5 decades between us, he was my friend. My real true friend. Our age difference didn’t matter-- in fact, it gave us each something neither of us had with most people.
