Blue Velvet

Tony and kd lang have collaborated on several occasions: A Wonderful World, Playing With My Friends and both Duets albums. Here is a video of them singing–beautifully– Blue Velvet, from Duets II. Their voices match perfectly on everything they sing together.

They also did an interview with NPR in 2002 when A Wonderful World was released. Click here to listen.

Tony and Alec Baldwin on Saturday Night Live

Here’s the full skit of Alec Baldwin playing Tony Bennett. Enjoy! Thanks, Hulu!  Thanks, Yahoo! Thanks, NBC!

Update: Hulu seems to have pulled this video. We’ll keep looking for it, though.

Good news! The segment is up on Yahoo; just click here.

The clip is up on the NBC site. Click here to view … it starts off with Adam Sandler; Tony’s segment starts about 1:43. This page on the NBC site has all five of the Alec Baldwin impersonations of his good friend Tony Bennett.

What To Do Until Your Next Live Tony Bennett Concert

If you’re like The Year of Tony Bennett, you’re waiting (somewhat impatiently) for your next live Tony Bennett concert. (Scroll to the bottom of the page to see how long The Year of Tony Bennett has to wait for their next concerts.)

As this is summer and we’re in a jazz festival state of mind, we’d like to draw your attention to a collection of videos from the Newport Jazz Festival in 2002 that are hosted on Wolfgang’s Vault.

This link will take to the page where you can choose from the many films available.

Enjoy! And remember: The Best Is Yet To Come!

Thanks to Wolfgang’s Vault.
