Tony Bennett & Stevie Wonder Plot Collab Album
-
Artist:
On the heels of their Grammy winning song earlier this year For Once in My Life, Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder are in talks to take it a step further and release an album together. Although the album isn't set in stone, things are moving in the right direction for the project to take place. Tony and Stevie clicked in the studio, leaving Bennett with nothing but admiration, "[he's] my favorite guy. He's so deep, and he's such a creative artists at all time. We enjoyed ('For Once in My Life') so much and we enjoyed being with each other, it seems natural to do more together."
In the meantime, Tony has taken over James Brown's title as the hardest working man in show business. The 81 year old has an album slated for release in September. Tony Bennett Sings the Ultimate American Songbook, Vol. 1 will include 15 of Tony's favorite tunes. Tony is also releasing a book Tony Bennett in the Studio -- A Life of Music and Art, which will feature over 200 of Tony's own paintings.
"I have this unusual attitude that you just keep learning and keep studying," Bennett says of being the hardest working 81-year-old in show business. "I don't have to do it, but I have to do it, if you know what I mean. I don't care to retire at all, and (the work) keeps you young. You have something to live for, and I still have so much to learn."
