Tony Bennett: Duets II
saw the film on PBS Great Performances last night, purchased the album. Some huge surprises in this one, Lady Gaga is a great singer of the great american songbook, she does a great "The Lady Is A Tramp" could give Ella a run for her money and it was obvious that she and Bennett were enjoying one another. Based on that I wouldn't mind hearing a full album of her doing the classics by Porter, Basie, etc. with Nelson Riddle style orchestration. Other high points are Queen Latifah, Michael Buble, Faith Hill, Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones.

80 is the new...what?

Ponder the answer to the rhythms of the year 1932.

Morecambe & Wise -- Two Of A Kind (1962)
One of several of Eric & Ernie's theme songs

Two of a kind for your information
We're two of a kind
Two of a kind, it's my observation
We're two of a kind
Just like peas in a pod
Birds of a feather
Alone or together you'll find
That we are two of a kind

What's so wrong
Thinking life is a song?
And reaching for a star?
Who's to say
If we go the whole way
At least we got this far

Two of a sort like two pomegranates
From off the same tree
I'm with you, sport, whatever you plan
It goes double with me
I've had a terrible thought
Most frightfully upsetting
And yet we are getting resigned
To be as two of a kind
