New York is mourning the legendary jazz singer Tony Bennet, who passed away Friday morning in New York City. He was two weeks shy of his 97th birthday.
Christina Aguilera is getting back to basics yet again. The singer, who adopted a jazz-inspired sound on 'Back to Basics' back in 2006, teamed up with legend Tony Bennett for his 'Viva Duets' collection.
On his new album, ‘Duets II,’ legendary crooner Tony Bennett works with scores of talented artists — but perhaps none as wildly popular as Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga.
Teaming up for a jazzy rendition of ‘The Lady Is a Tramp,’ Gaga gets the rare opportunity to show that she’s no studio creation — the chick can actually sing.
We often refer to senior citizens as being in their ‘golden years,’ but Tony Bennett is taking it to a whole new level. In fact, before long, he could be in his platinum years.
At the age of 87, the veteran singer is still reaching new levels of success, breaking a pair of Billboard records with the first single from his ‘Duets II’ album.
The last known studio recording Amy Winehouse did before her untimely death in July was a duet with Tony Bennett called ‘Body and Soul,’ which will be on his upcoming album ‘Duets II,’ dropping September 20.
The song was recorded in March at the famed Abbey Road Studios in London, and Bennett has pledged that proceeds from the single’s sales will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
