Who Can I Turn To?

Posted by Staff on Thursday, July 27, 2023

Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me) was a 1964 song released by Tony Bennett. The song was recorded again as a duet in 2011 with Queen Latifah and a second duet in 2012 with Gloria Estefan. Many of Tony Bennett’s songs became popular again with the help of Lady Gaga and their 2014 album and tour titled Cheek to Cheek. 

Tony Bennett passed away on July 21, 2023 leaving behind a wonderful legacy. He won 20 Grammy Awards. He set a Guinness World Record by being the oldest person to release an album with new material at the age of 95. 

Tony Bennett was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in 2016, but continued to perform until 2021. His final stage performances were at Radio City Music Hall. 

Although new medications have recently been approved by the FDA to manage Alzheimer’s disease, it is still a difficult condition to treat. We have no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but we do have evidence for ways to slow cognitive decline.
