Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga?...Gag Me?


Actually, this duet works incredibly well on their recent album "Cheek To Cheek". I'm not a fan of Lady Gaga and really think she's weird. Her music is weird, her persona is weird, she's just weird.

However, WOW does she have a fantastic voice! I've never even listened to any of her stuff because, well she's weird, but with Tony as a singing partner, she's great.

This album is recorded very well. Nice deep and wide soundstage and the imaging is excellent. The voices are a little forward for my taste, but still overall, well done.

Tony Bennett was one of my parent's favorite singers and I, of course, have heard him many times. He's not what I would usually listen to, but this album has become one of my favorites.

Well worth a listen and highly recommended!

I once brought a voice lesson cassette to Tony while he was performing at Atlantic City. It was from his NYC instructor.
He was awaiting it and when I announced myself then I was ushered in. I and date, hung out with Tony for 50+ minutes in his dressing room before he went on.
He was the person that you see on stage, loving and real, and gentle.
He set my date and I up with front row center reserved table and full compliments.
Sorry if I sounded insulting, Kb54, I agree with you.

I think it was Frank Sinatra who remarked about Tony,
"You know why he's so popular, (?) he's got the voice, man" (!)
Yes, There was a big back screen during Tony's performance, and many of his paintings were shown while he sang. Very impressive!
