In an interview with Metro, Tony Bennett revealed that Lady Gaga wanted to record an entire album with him after the two worked together on Duets II. He also talked about sketching Gaga nude, working with Amy Winehouse and more.

Here are highlights of the interview:

On how the music industry has changed: "When I started, everything was very intimate. We all sang in little clubs. Then Liberace did a big show at Madison Square Garden. It worked for him and it made all the men in the music business book people to play big stadiums. I don't like to work that way. I still play in intimate halls where the acoustics are beautiful and the whole family can come – not just the young people."

On who he was most impressed with on Duets II: "Amy Winehouse was a great singer and I also liked working with Lady Gaga but they all impressed me. A lot were surprised by how quickly I work. I do things in three takes at the most. They said: ‘That's it? You've finished?'"

On working with Amy Winehouse: "She was the most talented singer. She really knew how to sing – she was spontaneous and creative. I couldn't believe it when, a month after we recorded together, my son told me she had died. I wanted to tell her to slow down because she was so good but I never had the opportunity."

On why he sketched Lady Gaga nude: "It was the right thing to do. I paint every day. Some days I paint models nude – like Michelangelo when he did the Vatican. The sketch I did of her sold for $30,000 and the money went to her charity. She's a very talented person. I was with her parents recently and they said she'd like to make an album with me. I'd like to do that, too. I'm looking forward to it."

AFTER MONTHS AND YEARS OF WANTING THIS TO HAPPEN, IT IS FINALLY HAPPENING

I AM TOO EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW

I thought we already did

Seriously, I've heard lots of comments from people saying "She should make a jazz or acoustic album. It'd be great!" and now all these stans are in here paying dust to the idea. I don't get it at all.

I think people thought of it more as something she would do once she's no longer putting out hit after hit anymore

but personally, I just said this on the other thread, I'd totally be here for a holiday jazz album.. the christmas single would become a holiday classic, move over jingle bell rock

it would make a great addition to her already dope discography
