These four singers are painters, as well.  There might be a lot more singers and musicians who paint pictures -- these four just happen to be ones that I knew about.  Maybe those talents go together....

Tony Bennett:  known for such hit songs as 

"I Left My Heart in San Francisco"

"New York State of Mind" 

and

"I Get a Kick Out of You"

-- he was born in 1926, and passed away only two months ago, in July - three years short of being a hundred years old...

I know what I'm needing

And I don't want to waste more time

I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality...
