At age 87, Tony Bennett ‘still going strong’

Tony Bennett could quit singing tomorrow, and he would go down as one of the most respected artists ever. But Bennett, 87, has some unfinished business. “I have an album that’s ready for release,” Bennett said while calling from his Manhattan apartment. “Wait until you hear it.”
The smooth entertainer’s next release is going to turn some ears. His forthcoming project, “Cheek to Cheek,” is a collaboration with Lady Gaga. The disc, which will drop by the end of the year, features songs from the Great American Songbook. “We recorded some great songs by George Gershwin and Cole Porter. She is an amazing singer. I told her we should do a jazz record, and she was so excited. I met her parents, and they love our collaboration.”
