Comment:

How do you become a classic in your own right? If you're Tony Bennett, you master the classics, and then serve them up like they've never been heard before, with the able assistance of some of today's top talents. Such is the case with his now-legendary collection Duets: An American Classic and its worthy successor, Duets II. We're flipping through the Great American Songbook the way Mr. Bennett did, and checking out the interpretations that grabbed not only the public's ear, but also Tony's. From the Chairman of the Board finger-popping his way through "The Best is Yet to Come," to Lady Day crying out in the night for "The Man I Love," to Tony himself casting a bittersweet mist over the Bay with "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," we've got all the hits behind the hits . . . behind the Duets.
