Kotb had previously announced her interview with the family on air. She told her Today co-anchors, "Thursday, by the way, guys, would have been the legendary singer's 97th birthday, so in honor of that occasion, I have the chance to talk to Susan Benedetto—that's his devoted partner—they were together for 38 years and his eldest son, Danny."
The 58-year-old teased what the family touched in their chat, sharing, "They had some powerful things to say about Tony's incredible life, the love he had for anybody in his orbit. And they also shared something very touching, the very last song that Tony sang to Susan, it was just days before his passing."
She added, "It was a beautiful conversation, really touching, you'll want to see it it'll be Thursday here on Today."
Bennett passed away at 96 years old on July 21. Susan and Danny released a joint statement hours after the news was announced, writing, "Thank you to all the fans, friends and colleagues of Tony’s who celebrated his life and humanity and shared their love of him and his musical legacy."
