Tony Bennett made music history with the Grammy-nominated CD Duets II when it debuted at the top of the Billboard Album Charts, making Bennett the oldest vocal artist ever to achieve the number one spot. Nominated for three Grammys, including Best Traditional Pop Vocal, Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s), the critically acclaimed album followed the 85-year-old singer s Grammy-winning 2006 Duets CD which had, in turn, been released in honor of his 80th birthday.

Tony Bennett: Duets II , is a presentation of great performances, featuring the singer's greatest hits, performed by Bennett and today's biggest stars, including John Mayer, Michael Buble, K.D. Lang, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Queen Latifah, Norah Jones, Josh Groban, Faith Hill, Alejandro Sanz, and Carrie Underwood, and more.

The sessions were filmed to capture the magic of these performers singing with the master of the Great American Songbook. The album took over six months to record with each track recorded face-to-face with his singer partners in studios around the world, from LA to Nashville to London. Among the many highlights is Amy Winehouse's last recorded track ( Body and Soul ), which was produced in London s famous Abbey Road Studios in March 2011. Other tracks were recorded in New York in late July: the Richard Rodgers-Lorenz Hart classic, The Lady Is A Tramp with Lady Gaga, and the Alan and Marilyn Bergman classic, How Do You Keep The Music Playing, with Aretha Franklin, and Stranger in Paradise with Andrea Bocelli, recorded at the singer's Itali­an home.
