Susan became president of a fan club for the singer, who died on Friday (21), aged 96
Singer Tony Bennett died on Friday at the age of 96. The jazz star left his wife, Susan Benedict.
The two had been married for 16 years, but even so, the two had been together for over 20 years. Susan Benedetto is a retired teacher and graduate of Fordham University and Teachers College, Columbia University. While she was teaching, she was a teacher in a New York public school.
The story of how the two met is very curious and somewhat driven by fate, as Susan herself joked in interviews. Susan’s parents were fans of the jazz singer. Incidentally, she also met the singer while she was pregnant with Susan. Years later, the teacher, as a teenager, would become president of a Tony Bennett fan club. You can believe?
The two would only meet when Susan Benedetto was 19 years old. By the way, the meeting was described in the autobiography of the jazz singer. “I was amazed that someone his age was so dedicated to my music. Not only did I agree to meet her in her dressing room, but I also invited her to be my date that night, and that’s how it all began, foreshadowed by a backstage photo taken in 1966.
