#tony bennett duets

[audio-luddite]

A few hours of music.

I warmed up the beast with a 70 minute CD of Santana. I really like the tunes, but.... I have a few Santana CDs and some have duplicate songs. That is common. But several of the tracks have replaced the singer with someone else in an otherwise identical performance.

That means they just replaced the vocal track. I cannot think of any artistic reason to do that. So maybe commercial? One track has Tina Turner singing. The other has Michelle Branch. Same instrumental tracks. The younger singer is to attract new listeners?

No matter, it happened years ago. And I was just warming up the thing for a set of LPs. The Main event accompanied by my Wife and the two cats splayed about the room.

So First up was "Cheek to Cheek" with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga. I love this for the music, and as a document. Gaga proved to have real Jazz chops and was more than a pop tart.

That followed closely with "Duets II" also TB and many others.

I do not recall when I last played these. They sounded different. It could have been before the ARC amp came in, or with the other phono pickup. I suspect it was the amplifier as the differences were in the textures that the Classic 60 paints on the sound. The voices sounded so nice and fully developed. Tiny details were lost, but the textures were gorgeous.

This album is interesting as it was the first collaboration with Gaga where apparently she had to get a bit drunk to sing as she was so star struck. She is Italian-American and TB was an Icon for that community. It also has the very last song Amy Winehouse recorded before her death.

One cut on the Duets album with Faith Hill was particularly interesting. Her consonants were different, softer, more feminine. Before I could hear a snap in the Ks and Ts in the lyric. This was one of the "I can hear her lips parting" tracks with the Franken-Amp and yes that was now masked.

So after 6 LP sides of TB I went to another "American Songbook" album with Linda Ronstadt. That girl could sing anything and do it well. The album was "Lush Life". That one is now 40 years old. It sounds excellent. I really enjoyed it. Again sounded quite different since my last listen. I think this was before the ARC arrived as the LP was in the basement shelf.

Lots of Jazz and "traditional" songs by top tier musicians.

This really is the point is it not?

American Songbook legend Tony Bennett has passed away at the age of 96.

The world has lost a legendary vocalist whose voice personified the American Songbook: Tony Bennett. He was 96. A spokesman for the singer confirmed the news that Bennett had passed away on Friday morning in New York City. Even after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s illness in 2016, he continued to periodically do live performances and put out new music. In 2021, at age 95, his second duet…

I love this duet so much! This vibe is something so very beautiful. Miss you, Tony Bennett. What an incredible artist we´ve just lost. Prayers goes to your family and also to your amazing partner in the music industry, Lady Gaga.

(July 26, 2023).  The late Tony Bennett—who sadly passed away on July 21 at age 96–is in the record books for being the oldest living artist to have a No. 1 album of newly recorded material.  He was 88 when his last No. 1 album, Cheek to Cheek—a Lady Gaga collaboration—topped the Billboard 200 in September 2014. That triumph extended a record he’d already set three years earlier when, at age 85,…
