Tony Martin (1913-2012)
I was saddened to hear of the passing of singer/actor Tony Martin via Laura's blog (her tribute is here). He lived a very long and full life of 98 years, and left us with some wonderful songs and movie memories, including a memorable performance from Ziegfeld Girl (below clip)
