I Left My Heart in San Francisco
The song became so popular, and so associated with Bennett, people would often ask if he ever got tired of singing it. The singer battled drug and financial problems in the 1970s as rock music took over the airwaves and his popularity waned. In a 2004 interview with CNN's Larry King, Bennett said he had managed to appeal to generations of fans by never changing his tune.
"It's a very relaxing, wonderful thing, and it's very difficult, but if you have a passion, you go for it, and it stays difficult," Bennett told CNN's Larry King in 2004.
