In 2006, to celebrate his 80th birthday, Tony released Tony Bennett: Duets – An American Classic, recorded with a collection of stars including Barbra Streisand and Elton John. Five years later. Tony recorded Duets II, and laid down the track ‘The Lady Is A Tramp’ with Lady Gaga. Their work together was such a success, the pair joined forces again to create a jazz standards album called Cheek to Cheek, which won them a Grammy.
