Congratulations on the music of the greats and for two greats. I’ll dance it cheek to cheek with whoever deserves it. Again I was wrong and there are three.Ĭheek to Cheek is a gift that I will listen to with the certainty that all is not lost. Cheek to Cheek would seem like a commercial failure. The two complement each other and achieve an album where nothing is missing and that together with the sound of the golden years: Big Band and large formats of strings recorded by Dae Bennett, interpret authors such as Cole Porter, Cy Coleman, George Gershwin and Berlin himself among others no less famous, and that their works, between the ups and downs of rap and the most vulgar blues that we hear today, take on a validity that I congratulate and celebrate. Tony Bennett, with the whole expression, the singer who made Sinatra say in 1965, nothing more and nothing less than in LIFE magazine: “He is my dream singer, favorite, songs are made for Tony to sing” and Lady Gaga that under her eccentricities (and I love the eccentricities and amuse the extravagances of Miss Gaga) hides a voice full of soul, brilliance, tuning, good taste and authenticity convinced me. Bennett but it was only a song to share and now, a disc with 15 songs would not be too much? I was wrong again it is not too much, it is simply not enough.Ĭheek to Cheek, title of the homonymous song by Irving Berlin, the father and mentor of legions of North American composers in the first five decades of the last century, is more than a CD, it is a journey to nostalgia, good work and daring which is an indissoluble part of the artistic fact. There was already a previous approach in the disc DUETS II of Mr. My doubts were completely vanished when I listened to them because they achieved something unimaginable: The wonder. When I said madness, I meant that I doubted that Tony Bennett, Queens, NY 1926, could “compete” and fill with the lush voice of Lady Gaga born in Manhattan, NY in 1986.

When I found out a couple of months ago that Columbia Records would release a phonogram called Cheek to Cheek with duets between legendary singer Tony Bennett and pop singer Lady Gaga, my years sniffing out “the American entertainment industry.” It put me on edge: a madness by Danny Bennett, the son, manager and producer of the Maestro, or a marketing operation carefully calculated by the famous record company and Bobby Campbell the manager of La Gaga? The two things and more have come to confirm my suspicions, but I did not take into account that the ART (with a capital letter) of both would have to be added.
