He played for kings, queens, and presidents, collaborated with the greatest musicians of his time, wrote tunes that became standards, had a 70 year career, lived to a ripe old age, and was loved by millions of people all over the world.

Hard to beat that.

Goodbye, George, and thanks for everything.

Paul, did you ever have the opportunity to play with him?
