Article correctly notes that Bennett had his first number one hit in 1951 with 'Because of You'. However further down in the same section it incorrectly states that his first top ten billboard hit was 'I Left My Heart in San Francisco' in 1962. He's actually had several top ten hits by 1962. 24.237.26.221 ( talk) 18:02, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
I would like to recommend the current image of Bennett used in the infobox be replaced with the one below; the current photo is not the clearest and a little amateur looking for an identifying photo. The one below shows Bennett much better. BakedintheHole ( talk) 16:29, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
You might want to mention that Mr. Bennett took part in the third Civil Rights March from Selma to Montgomery AL on March 22, 1965 with Martin Luther King. He was invited by Harry Belafonte.
(An aspect of his character. Dining with his high school friend, etc)

Someone has added a horrific lead-in to this article which reads, "American Traitor Leftist SCUM. A Democrat Rapist." I found this on 21 July 2023. Please remove this horrid language! Dominy7 ( talk) 23:35, 21 July 2023 (UTC)
I have a question how you people edit a page so fast he just died today on the 21st it's the 22nd for some people in different time zones. edit: Where do you Wikipedians get the most up to date information? TheMaggster ( talk) 03:07, 22 July 2023 (UTC)

Although the cited source may claim it, his unit, 63rd Division, was not involved in the actual Battle of the Bulge: the German offensive in the Ardennes. Parts of it were involved in the related but distinct Operation Nordwind (German offensive in Alsace.)
Not sure how to proceed if the source (falsely) claims that, since its still sourced regardless. Michaelson15 ( talk) 17:17, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
Someone should lock this page due to people constantly changing the picture to Kermit the frog and setting the birthplace to North Korea. GamerKlim9716 ( talk) 11:15, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
Olivia Newton John's death last year didn't appear on the main page of Wikipedia in the "in the news" section. So why does Tony Bennett get to be "in the news" ? MisterZed ( talk) 12:12, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
