Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announced a resolution in remembrance of Tony Bennett at Central Park on Sunday.

Schumer called for Bennett’s birthday, Aug. 3, to be known as “Tony Bennett Day.”

“Whether you met Tony, you listened to Tony, whether you’re young, whether you’re old, whether you are in between. Everyone knew Tony Bennett and loved Tony Bennett,” Schumer said at Bennett’s bench in Central Park South.

Bennett, an Italian-American from Queens, was raised as Anthony Dominic Benedetto.

He served in World War II and when he came back, started tapping into his musical talent — and the rest is history.

The resolution also focused on who was outside of his legendary career, with 20 Grammy awards — a supporter of the civil rights movement.

“He cared deeply about other people. When it was highly unpopular for singers and entertainers to march in the civil rights movement, he went there and marched with Harry Belafonte and Martin Luther King in Selma,” Schumer said.

People stopped and admired Bennett’s bench, which was his favorite place to sit in the park before he passed, to lay flowers and messages to honor the cultural icon.

“We’re playing his music in my lobby today out of respect and love for his music. We think it’s a great tribute to a great man,” neighbor Carlos Roman said.

Residents in Central Park South recall what it was like knowing him and seeing him in the neighborhood.

“We love him. He’s a great neighbor. He was always smiling and says, hello. So yeah, we’re going to miss him. He’s a great guy,” Roman said.

“From time to time, we would see Tony and his wife in the park,” neighbor Neil Lauder said.
