Late singers
The late American crooner Tony Bennett counted lawmakers among his legions of fans. Democrats in the United States Senate and House of Representatives are honoring the New Yorker famous for “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Fly Me To The Moon” and many other jazz and pop songs by proposing to make his birthday “Tony Bennett Day in America.” Bennett died on 21 July and would have been 97 years old on 3 August. US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer had just led the unanimous passage of a resolution designating the date of his birth as TBDA. According to the Democratic senator, the TBDA resolution also honors the singer as a World War II veteran and civil rights campaigner. “He was a lifelong champion of civil rights and marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma in 1965, at a time when the agents of most entertainers discouraged them from marching in these kinds of things because they might lose some fans,” Schumer recalled, according to New York Post. Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat in the House, introduced a parallel resolution to honor “Tony’s extraordinary legacy and celebrate his unsurpassed artistry and patriotic leadership,” NYP reported. Meanwhile, Irish singer Sinead O’Connor, the voice behind the 1990 hit song “Nothing Compares 2 U,” also sent her throng of fans grieving. Reports said the 56-year-old Irish native died in her London home five days after Bennett’s passing. The cause of her death is still being determined but police are not treating it as suspicious. Like TBDA, fans may be planning to set a memorial day for O’Connor. The date could be her birthday, 8 December, instead of on the day she died. A spokesperson for the London Inner South Coroner’s Court said the singer’s “date of death is unknown,” the Daily Mail and NYP reported. “No medical cause has been given for the death and an autopsy will be conducted with results taking several weeks to be delivered, the Coroner’s Court added,” according to NYP. The post Late singers appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»

LeBron James pumps up Goodyear after Trump attacks company
By BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Akron’s best-known native responded to President Donald Trump's attack on his Ohio hometown's iconic company, offering a shout-out of solidarity with the city, company and workers. “Not only has Goodyear been great for my city, for the history of my city, but for the country,” LeBron James told reporters in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, where the NBA is playing during the pandemic. “Unbelievable brand and unbelievable history. So, we stand strong, we always unite, especially my city.” James, who led the Cleveland Cavaliers to their only NBA title during his second stint with the team, has been a steadfast supporter of community improvement projects in Akron. He jumped directly into the NBA from his state-champion St. Vincent-St. Mary's High School team in Akron. Now with the Los Angeles Lakers, James commented Thursday night, a day after Trump called for a boycott of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., which employs more than 3,000 people. Trump inaccurately said the company had “announced a ban” on “Make America Great Again” caps. Leaders of the city of fewer than 200,000 people are worried that a boycott would worsen the struggling economy “We’ve always felt like we’ve been counted out, being a small city,” James said. “And that’s what rallies us even more. It makes us even stronger.”.....»»
