Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Tony Bennett celebrates his 80th birthday by recording duets of his greatest hits with today's greatest stars. DUETS features collaborations with artists like James Taylor, The Chicks, Bono, Michael Buble, Elton John, Barbra Streisand, Billy Joel and many more.

About the Artist

At this point, who else but Tony Bennett would have the clout to round up stars on the scale of Elton John, Paul McCartney, Bono, Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand for some duets? (Note also that unlike some similar projects, all the parties involved on this CD were alive when it was recorded!) The material consists of relatively obvious classics in standard big-band arrangements, and Bennett himself is in top form at age 80, so much so that he doesn't need anybody else to handle "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." But the fun comes from checking out how his collaborators fare. The Dixie Chicks provide wonderful Andrews Sisterstype harmonies on the percolating version of "Lullaby of Broadway" that opens the festivities. The best songs tend to be the ones where Bennett's slightly craggy voice is juxtaposed to smooth female ones, like Diana Krall on "The Best Is Yet to Come," familiar accomplice k.d. lang on the sultry "Because of You" and Streisand-perhaps Bennett's only equal in stature at this pointon "Smile." Among the less expected guests, soulman John Legend is a revelation on the hard-swinging "Sing, You Sinners," while George Michael confirms hes quite the crooner on "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?" Elvis Costello, Celine Dion or Juanes don't sound as comfortable, and sometimes it feels as if they overdo it to compensate, but overall this collection is among the best of its kind, with most guests rising to the occasion. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

This is such a great CD! DUETS: AN AMERICAN CLASSIC by TONY BENNETT and company isn't a new concept: get a group of talented singers and have them duet with Bennett on some of the most enduring songs in American pop history. It is, however, one of the best.

Bennett is in fine form at 80-years old at the time of this recording and there's something for everyone on this CD. From the up-tempo "Lullaby Of Broadway" with the Dixie Chicks and "Sing, You Sinners" with John Legend to the lush and hopeful "Smile" with Barbra Streisand, DUETS: AN AMERICAN CLASSIC is sure to put a smile on your face and become one of your favorite CDs.

I don't really know much about Bennett -- aside from knowing that he is a singer and that he sang, "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" -- so this was like discovering musical treasure.

There are some misses on the CD, though. The duet with Celine Dion, "If I Ruled The World," sounds more like Dion shouting than singing -- another reviewer pointed out that it sounds like she's trying too hard. The duet with Stevie Wonder, on Wonder's song "For Once In My Life," which is presented in a slower tempo than the original is OK, although Wonder does a little too much warbling on some notes, but seems like an odd choice considering the rest of the selection. And "How Do You Keep The Music Playing?" with George Michael. The song isn't bad but Michael doesn't sound like George Michael.

One more thing, on "I Left My Heart In San Francisco," I thought this was going to be a duet with Bennett singing along with a younger version of himself, like Barbra did on "You'll Never Know," from Just for the Record (Display Box) or better yet on her cover version of "One Less Bell To Answer/A House Is Not A Home" from Barbra Joan Streisand , but it's just him singing by himself (unless his voice hasn't changed since then).

Anyway, I think you'd be pleasantly surprised by this CD. It would be great to play at parties and to just sing-a-long with.

Tony Bennett was the best. This is a very good CD. I had the other CD Deuts II so I had to order the first one, Deuts. Happy I did. He sang the finest American songs ever composed. An era closed when he died. A true treasure.

What’s funny is I bought this, not as a fan of Bennet but as a fan of McCartney. Thankfully I discovered a few fabulous new artists ( new to me) like the wonderful Diane Krall, as McCartney totally disappointed. Bought the second duets and gave that 5 stars. Lady Gaga was outstanding, and this from someone who heard her sing.
