Duets II
The duets with Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse are worth the price of the album, though far from being the only tracks of interest.

Still at 85 one of the greatest voices of all time. No wonder Sinatra called him his "favorite" singer. Sing on Anthony!!
Outstanding!
Tony Bennett has still got it! He is amazing, and every song he does with any other person turns out perfect as far as I am concerned. I love this album.
Second stringers
The line up of people Bennett does duets with on this album is certainly a step down from the first \"Duets\" album. People like Josh Groban and Carrie Underwood should be paying to hear Tony Bennett sing. Not actually performing with him. Although I will say the best track is \"The Lady Is A Tramp\" with Lady GaGa. That's inspired...
A Must Have
A definite must have!! Emusic thanks for adding this beautful, timeless collection of music for us to download, it is worth the price and the download.
Luv it Luv It Luv It!!!!
I loved the blending of old and new to something even better. Each of the artist brought what it is in them and their parents in the songs. LUV IT!!
Nice lineup
It's well produced, and every track is a gem. Personally I feel that there's too many slower songs on it, but then again he was 85 when this was released so....
24 Karat Star power!
Tony Bennett does it again! He still sounds amazing, and these masterful duets are both a look into the past and a sommersault into the future of music. The pairing of Bennet and Amy Winehouse is bittersweet, but a lovely tribute to Winehouse's talent. Queen Latifah's contribution is mellow, beautiful,and surefire proof that the lady has the chops for music of this caliber. Alejandro Sanz was a lovely surprise, being that I'm used to seeing him in the Latino music circles. And all the other artists add their own wonderful touches to this compilation. This album is a must for anyone who enjoys music of the highest degree.
man o man
this is gonna win a Grammy!!!

Icon: Tony Bennett
By Will Friedwald, eMusic Contributor
More than any other cultural icon, living or otherwise, Tony Bennett is the embodiment of two major musical traditions. On one hand, he's an exuberant pop singer and an old-fashioned entertainer out of the tradition of Judy Garland and Jimmy Durante; at the same time, Bennett is also a jazz musician, deeply influenced by Louis Armstrong, a colleague of Bill Evans. A native of Astoria, New York, Bennett may have started his career as a… more »
