is still incredible and does not have the voice one would expect at 90 years of age. He still sounds young and vibrant.

@Lila Belle @MyGirlsMom his name is Leslie Odom Jr.

I recorded this show. I might watch it now, since I can't sleep. LOL!

Glad to hear Tony still has it, love him. And I really like Leslie Odom too!

I watched with my gf mom who is in her 80s - we reminisced about the good ole days of his era & music.

She remembered her & hubby ever Sat nite getting dressed up and out dancing. I remembered the same with my parents! I was fortunate enough to have seen the greats like Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis & more as my dad always included us when they went to these shows & more.

Oh those wonderful times passed!

Mark that down @MyGirlsMom!!! I am usually the one that doesn't know any of the current celebrities that are mentioned or discussed routinely here. I am always out of the loop!!

Can't believe I knew this! But some colleagues of mine went to see Hamilton (one has a sister living in NYC so they knew in advance about the show in order to score their tickets). They raved about the show and how talented they thought Odom was.

You will enjoy it. I saw him last year and such a good time. He got a standing ovation every song.

There is a thread on TV and Movies I started on tonight's performance

I watched a little of the program off and on. For 90 yrs. old, he looks great and still has his voice. Good for him!

I'm so bummed I missed a lot of this. I did see Michael Buble on the show. He looks good-very thin--probably due to stress about his son.

I hope his son is still doing ok. Anyway, Tony B. is so talented and such a class act.

He seems like a really nice guy too!!!

Homedecor 1: Your Mom and Dad and I are same era. Great music. No trickery music, pure singing like MICHAEL B. and Lady GA GA. I saw Dean, Sammy, Sinatra, in old Las Vegas.

We cut Class in High School iN San Francisco, and saw DEAN MARTIN AND JERRY LEWIS on stage at the Golden Gate theatre, opening act live, before the premiere of QUO VADIS or BEN HUR They did a comedy act. After, we went screaming in the alley while they threw pictures of themselves out a window.. JL had the most beautiful blue eyes. This was the era at movies, with live opening acts, two movies, news of the day, and a cartoon, usually TOM AND JERRY. All for 50 cents. Great memories.

I enjoyed the 90th birthday show last night. I took my mom to see Tony Bennett back in March and it was a wonderful show. What a voice!
