He added: “The first thing I said was, ‘Let’s do an album together.’ And she said, ‘Okay.’ That quick. I just love what she did on [our album,Cheek toCheek]. She’s up there with Ella Fitzgerald, who was the greatest singer in the world.”
The two worked together several times over the years including a world tour, a second album calledLove for Saleand a Radio City Music Hall performance titledOne Last Timefollowing the announcement from Bennett’s familythat he was living with Alzheimer’s disease.
“I will miss singing with him, recording with him, talking with him, being on stage together,“she added.“With Tony, I got to live my life in a time warp. Tony & I had this magical power,” she continued. “We transported ourselves to another era, modernized the music together, & gave it all new life as a singing duo. But it wasn’t an act.
