6. He was born in the borough of Queens in NYC. |
|
But he did sing the song, and he's Italian-American.

11. I don't know Tony's politics, |

From NNDB:
"Politically he is a middle-of-the-road Democrat. He was quietly involved in the early-60s civil rights movement, and he is still proud that he was the first white singer to record with Count Basie's band."

As a musician, Tony has been a spokesman for Civil Rights for many years. There's a quote by him that goes something like (paraphrasing) musicians don't care about black or white. The question is can the cat sing?
