Is there any one more beloved in the music world than Tony Bennett?

My own appreciation for the talented, charming Mr. Bennett began very early, as his 1958 single, “Young And Warm And Wonderful” was a mainstay on my dad’s jukebox. In college, I was part of the MTV generation who welcomed his mid-’90s career resurgence thanks to an Unplugged appearance, and last year, was so touched when he had such kind words to say about the late Amy Winehouse, whose March 2011 session with Bennett on “Body And Soul” for his Duets II project turned out to be her last.

Released in honor of Bennett’s 85th birthday, Duets II made music history when it debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart in September, making him the oldest recording artist ever to score a #1 album. The accolades keep coming too, as last month Duets II took home all three Grammy awards for which it was nominated, including Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Duo or Group Performance for “Body And Soul,” a trophy he accepted alongside Amy Winehouse’s parents, Mitch and Janis.

On Tuesday, the visual companion Duets II: The Great Performances is released on DVD and Blu-ray, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the album, plus full-length videos of the song performances. Besides Amy Winehouse, Bennett’s vocal partners include Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, Carrie Underwood, Aretha Franklin, k.d. lang, Queen Latifah, and other stars, like Lady Gaga, who kicks things off with a lively “Lady Is A Tramp”:

Tony Bennett is a true original, so at ease while paired with stars of different genres and generations (all of the recordings for Duets II were face-to-face sessions, not always the case with such projects). It’s a real treat to see the master at work, and one lucky Popservations reader will have that chance by winning one (1) copy of Tony Bennett’s Duets II: The Great Performances on DVD.

ENTER TO WIN: Simply send me an email with the subject “Duets II” and include your name and mailing address (U.S. addresses only, please). One (1) winner will be randomly selected on Monday, March 14, 2012, at 9:00 AM PST, and notified shortly thereafter. Best of luck!
