We transported ourselves\u200d to another era, modernized the music together, &#038; gave it all new life as a singing duo,\u201d she wrote. \u201cBut it wasn\u2019t an act. Our relationship was very real. Sure\u2064 he\u200c taught me\u200b about music, about showbiz life, but\u200c he also showed me how to keep my spirits high and my head screwed on straight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018Straight ahead,\u2019 \u2063he\u2019d say,\u201d she added. \u201cHe was an \u2064optimist, he believed\u2062 in quality work AND quality life.

He served\u200d in WWII, marched with Martin Luther \u2062King Jr., and \u200bsang jazz with the\u2063 greatest singers and players in the world.

We were from two different stages in life entirely\u2013inspired. \u200dLosing Tony\u200c to Alzheimer\u2019s has been painful but it\u2064 was also really beautiful. An era of memory loss is such a sacred time in a persons life.\u200d There\u2019s such\u200c a feeling of vulnerability and a desire to preserve \u2062dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cBad Romance\u201d hitmaker closed out her heartfelt post by sending a message to the \u200dnext generation about not\u200c discounting \u201cyour elders, \u2063don\u2019t leave \u200cthem \u2063behind when things change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t flinch when\u2062 you feel sad,\u200c just keep going straight ahead, sadness is part of it,\u201d the singer wrote. \u201cTake care of your \u2062elders and I \u200dpromise you will learn something special.
