GREAT PERFORMANCES: TONY BENNETT: DUETS II
This is a programming note since I was not able to review the show.
Quick note here about this one. Just wanted to make sure that it got at least some play since it is pretty cool that all the stars your kids are into, such as Lady Gaga, are singing with a guy old enough to be my grandfather. Seriously, Bennett is 85 and still performing like nobody’s business – and PBS brought him to us live. If I had half his energy now…
I have seen the duet he did with Lady Gaga, singing The Lady is a Tramp – which is delightful. Gaga, whatever her issues with hypersexualization, is still a darned good musician, and I have to give her props. But there’s a whole series of these, including Bennett’s work with the late Amy Winehouse, Michael Buble, Queen Latifah (who may be a little old school for your kids) and a host of others who’ve been around the block a few more times.
It’s on PBS tonight. Check your local listings for times.
