Senator Chuck Schumer on Sunday called for the late award-winning singer Tony Bennett to have his own day in his hometown and across the country.
Schumer sat at a bench in Central Park inscribed with the Queens’ native’s name on July 23, mere days after the beloved artist passed away — just weeks short of his 97th Birthday on Aug. 3. Holding a photo of the late Bennett, the senate majority leader declared that Aug. 3 should be known as “Tony Bennett Day.”
