Tony Bennett to perform with Carrie Underwood at Grammys

The Recording Academy just announced that Bennett will perform with Carrie Underwood on the Grammy Awards on Feb. 12. Carrie Underwood joined Tony on his CD for a recording of the 1920's popular standard It Had To Be You.

Recently 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 Duets II received kudos from all quarters. The Wall Street Journal noted that the singer was "...constantly reaffirming his position as pop music's greatest living patriarch."

Tony Bennett's 2011 album, Duets II, was the first set the singer ever put at number 1 on the Billboard Album chart, also making him the oldest artist to ever hit the top. Released in honor of his 85th birthday, the album includes performances by k.d. lang, Aretha Franklin, Natlie Cole, Willie Nelson, Norah Jones, Carrie Underwood, Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse and others on songs originally recorded solo by Bennett throughout his career.

Now, a new DVD, Tony Bennett Duets II: The Great Performances reveals the behind the scenes process of the recording highlighted by beautifully filmed full-length videos of the song performances. The DVD features special bonus content including video birthday wishes and a gallery of personally inscribed and signed sheet music from the duet guests.
