Frank Sinatra said in an interview in 1965: "Tony Bennett is the best singer in the business. When I look at him, he inspires me. He moves me. He's a singer who conveys what the songwriter had in mind, and probably something more." That's exactly what Tony Bennett has done over the past 60 years. With 15 Grammys and a huge number of gold and platinum awards, he probably knows exactly how to use his vocal cords. "Duets II" collects the best standards of the American songbook. Here he joins collaborations with the best voices: Aretha Franklin, Natalie Cole, Norah Jones and K. D. Lang. But it is Amy Winehouse's tragically early death that makes this album truly special: her part in the duet to "Body And Soul" is the last known recording of this extraordinary British singer - a heartbreaking version of the 1930 jazz classic. Review , "Sensational: a duet with Amy Winehouse ("Body And Soul"), her last known recording" (Audio, November 2011) , "There was already a lot of media interest in Amy Winehouse beforehand, because shortly before her death she went into the studio again to record her second duet album, Mister Bennett. Her superb rendition of 'Body And Soul' is a reason to buy it, but certainly not the only one." (Stereo, December 2011)

Album Genres übergreifend Jazz, Vokalmusik und Musik zur Entspannung. 180g Vinyl.
