Duets: An American Classic


Haven't buy any new music CD for quite a long time already.

Bought Tony Bennett latest release: Duets: An American Classic today. This album won him the recent 2007 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. By the way, he is 81 years old but vocals still so good!

Some notable tracks that I enjoyed :
I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO, HOW DO YOU KEEP THE MUSIC PLAYING? – duet with George Michael, SMILE – duet with Barbra Streisand, JUST IN TIME – duet with Michael Bublé and FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE – duet with Stevie Wonder.

I like the James Ingram and Patti Austin's version of "How do you keep the music playing", this new collaboration by Tony and GM is quite nice too.

Check out this awesome performance by Tony and Stevie, especially Stevie's harmonica part:



and with Barbra:
