American icon Tony Bennett will celebrate his 85th birthday this year with a new CD, “Tony Bennett: Duets II” which will be released on September 20th on RPM/Columbia Records. “Duets II,” produced by Phil Ramone follows up “Tony Bennett Duets: An American Classic” CD, the 2006 Grammy winning best selling CD which became Bennett’s best selling recording to date.
