Do you know what I was thinking about? I was thinking about how you swing.

I was thinking about how much I've learned from you.

I was your opening act.

I know where I belong.

Legendary singer Tony Bennett is performing his final live concerts in

City tonight.

Tony is battling Alzheimer's, but when the music comes on, he knows every word.

And with his family's help, the legendary crooner began rehearsing for

City Music Hall.

with his friend Lady Gaga.

Once upon a time A girl with

moonlight in her eyes Put

her hand in mine And said she loved me so

Tony's my musical companion.

Even in moments where he's looking at me and I'm not sure if he has forgotten

me. And our friendship stays with my life.

But that was once upon a time.

Here from the Paramount Theater, Tony Bennett, the new singing sensation.

When I first met Tom,

I was singing at a charity event.

And somebody came to me after the show and they said, Tony Bennett would like

meet you. And I said, excuse me?

Mr. Tony Bennett. Tony's going to come on now and he's going to tear the seats

out of the place for you. I'm going to say it again. He's the greatest singer

the world today.

Mr. Tony Bennett. Thank you very much.

That's the first time I ever saw her perform.

The most profound entertainer I've ever witnessed.

She's herself.

She's not like anybody else.

real nervous to meet Tony Bennett. Plus, I looked crazy.

I had blonde in my hair and black in my hair, red lipstick, four big velvet

moles on my face. I was doing my thing.

So I went into my trailer. I said, take it all off and make me look like a lady.

And I went to meet Mr. Bennett.

And he said, would you make a record with me?

And I said, Tony, thank you so much. You only heard me sing two songs.

I realized what an artist he really is. And then he said, Lady, you are a jazz

singer.

At last!

At last!

The minute we're together, something very good happens between the two of us.

It works.

You want to come see the set they've put together?

Yeah, I'd love to.

Hey, Dad. Hi. How you doing? Good.

Good. I'm going to look at the set. Yeah, it's great. Good morning.

Oh, this is beautiful.

Good morning. Yeah, doesn't that look great?

Fabulous. I'd like to sit over here.

On this side?

Yeah. Good.

Yeah, this would be good.

I've won and dined on Mulligan's too.

Too low.

I want to just hear the embellishment a little from the microphone.

Here I am at 85.

There's still so much to learn.

You never stop learning.

And I'd like to prove that I can get better as I get older.

I've wined and dined on mulligan stew and never wished for turkey.

And as far as I'm concerned, I never work a day in my life because I love it.

If you don't apply love to what you're doing, there's something missing.

Now Lady Gaga is the one for me.

No, don't play that last chord there. Lady Gaga is the one for me.

into it, right.

All right.

How you doing, handsome?

I have my whole family on this album, you know.

They're all participating.

I'm surrounded by a group of very, very thoughtful, beautiful people.

I have a wonderful wife who's very, very intelligent.

So I count my blessings.

Gaga's about five minutes away.

Oh, good.

What's her real name?

Stephanie. Do we call her Gaga?

Kathleen?

No, I think Stephanie. Stephanie?

I think they call her Gaga. I'll find out.

You've met Lady Gaga before.

Yeah. Just once with her family, with her mother and father. Are they coming

today? I don't know.

Hi, everyone.

I'm going to go say hi to Tony. I'll see you later.

Tony? Hello, Tony.

Hi. How are you? Oh, great.

So nice to see you.

Good to see you. You look so handsome.

Oh, great.

How are you? Fine. I'm so excited to be here. Oh, God, I love it. Hi, everyone.

I've been so excited. My dad has not stopped calling me for hours.

Oh, good.

He's so happy. I love the way you look. That's great.

Thank you. Your hair is fabulous. Thank you. I thought I'd give it a little

twist for you. The whole thing was for you.

Head to toe.

Oh, boy, that's so great.

I said, what would Tony want?

How's everyone doing today?

You having fun?

Everybody's doing great.

Tony, is your wife here?

Yes, she's right here. She's right there.

He's so lucky.

I am, yes. She's agreeing.

Good woman.

Thank you.

Look what we found.

Girl of the Gaga is Tony Krenz.

Tony Bennett, latest singing sensation, made a personal appearance at the

Enchanted Room.

That's a long time ago.

Because it's not like this anymore, is it?

Oh, Tony, I would have been chasing you around in this dress.

There's no men left that are as gentlemanly as Tony.

What do you think?

Because it's so cute. And it says Gaga.

Now, did you choose that yellow for your glasses?

Excuse me? Did you choose that yellow for your glasses?

Yeah. You wanted them to be yellow?

Yeah.

I figured you did.

I chose my hair to be blue.

loves the theater.

Never comes late.

I never bother with people I hate.

That's why this chick is a tramp.

I'm so nervous.

If I pass out, you can just tell them it was all planned.

It sounds great.

You sing beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

Is Don out there?

My voice teacher's here.

Nice to meet him. Yeah, I met Don when I was 13 years old, and he was teaching

all these amazing people.

He was the first person to believe in me.

That's great. And we're still friends. That's important.

That's important.

It means everything.

Yeah, it does.

Just one person's all you need.

Mm -hmm.

This is so much fun.

Are we through today? We're through today.

March, we did Amy.

Gosh, we did Amy?

Yeah. It was her last recording.

Wow. Is she okay?

She's really sad.

Oh. What don't you do with Amy?

Body and soul. Oh, wow.

That's a slower tune.

27 years old, she died.

27.

It's just tragic.

I've just become more and more committed to treat young people coming up with

love.

It's the only thing that works.

Hi. Good to see you. This is so much fun to do. Yeah, just love it.

I'm just really happy to be here. Really happy.

You have no idea. I like the fact that you studied music. You know how to play

the piano. You sing beautiful.

Thank you.

You know, you got the whole thing. Thanks. Well, thanks. Wow. You know how

perform like crazy.

You're really just a natural. My gosh.

Really? I've got to send you some tapes of me when I had dark hair when I was 16

in jazz band.

That would make you chuckle.

I've been...

starting music my whole life into this. I used to do all kinds of things.

I mean, Lost Life was like my big number.

That's great. People don't really know that about me.

They think I'm just, you know, I just sort of turned as a pop singer, but

everything was jazz before then. That's great. You know what you're doing.

Thanks, Tony.

Yeah, I'm just putting out my first ballad now.

Great. My very first one.

It's called You and I.

I would love to hear it. I'm trying to just push the boundaries a little bit

now, you know, now that I've got my high heel through the door.

Maybe I can shake things up a little bit.

I'm

down

to hear you play the piano.

Huh? I'm dying to hear you play the piano. You've never heard me play piano?

Yeah. Really?

Yeah, I like to hear it. What do you want to hear?

I started writing a new song, actually.

I need

someone to love and save me from

myself.

Maybe I'll just clean the shit off of these fancy shoes.

That sounds good.

Yeah.

That's a good thing.

All right.

is a champ.

I love the fresh wind in my hair.

Life without care.

Oh, I am so gross.

It's oak.

I hate California.

It's crowded and damp.

That's why the lady is a champ.

That's why.

That's right, Tony, I'm your baby, and I'm also your Orion.

Right on!

That's really great.

There's a lot of giggling going on in here.

Everybody's happy?

We're very happy. Okay.

We just need to do some inserts on the end, and we would have everything.

Okay, great.

But I think we should do it a couple more times.

You're having too much fun. Okay?

I like that idea, too.

I'm always good for more takes. We're having a good time. We're just making

work extra so that we can hang out.

I could do this all day if you want to know the truth.

Hey, how are you? I'm Kelsey Bennett. I'm the photographer.

That was incredible.

My granddaughter.

Oh, my gosh.

I love it.

It's gorgeous.

Yeah,

perfect.

They're great together.

I wish my grandpa would.

Still lying.

My grandpa would be so happy right now.

Growing up, listening to Tony, loving his interpretation of decades of music.

What I love about the way he sings so much is he means it every time.

Oh, wow.

You're a beautiful photographer.

Thank you. It's just like you have another member of your family here. I

Isn't that something? It's like there's some imported need.

Your shoes. Your shoes. They're so sweet to me. They're so comfortable with you.

Hey, Dad.

You said you wanted a job or something? Oh, yeah.

I didn't know that you sketched. Yeah. I went to art school for it. You did?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm in three museums. I'm just coming along.

Three museums?

Yeah.

You better get him a teal crayon.

Trying to do this fast, you know? You don't have to.

They told little lady Gaga in her apartment on Stanton that Tony Bennett

to sketch her years ago.

She wouldn't have said, do it quick.

Oh, my gosh, Tony.

Tony, it's beautiful.

Good.

Who knew?

Thank you.

Who knew you were a musical and a visual legend?

Will you take just one of me and Tony?

One, two, three.

Very good.

Oh.

Adorable look. Oh, good.

Oh, I can't take it. That's so beautiful.

I had a wonderful time.

Good, good, good. I'm happy you did. I did. It was wonderful.

You don't know what you've done, and I'll tell you about it someday.

Okay, someday.

Hopefully I'll see you again sometime.

Oh, yes, soon.

And then I had one more question. Why Lady of the Tramp lent itself so well

a duet?

Well, because I'm a tramp, and he knows it.

No, no, no.

I know that you're a lady playing a trance. That's right. Oh, he's really

me. Look at that. He called me out.

We just hit it off right from that moment on.

It was just really natural because he understands me.

You know, Tony can really see me.

The whole premise of art is truth and beauty, and that's Lady Gaga.

There's an honesty about her.

Anytime somebody wants to talk about anything provocative that I've done,

understands that it's my art form.

Lady Gaga!

She's crazy!

Tony and I have a lot more in common than people think.

We just kind of understood one another.

And I'm very happy that I met Tony at this moment in my life because, you

as soon as you write a song that becomes a hit, everything becomes a blur.

It's a very fast train and it's go, go, go, go, go.

I was not in a good place.

I was very jaded by the music industry.

I was sad.

Everything that she's going through is what happened to me in my life.

It takes years to learn how to live.

It took a long time for me to learn how to put my life together.

I knew about what she's going through with the audience falling in love with

her.

And then the next question is, how do you sustain that?

Everybody loves that story.

The icon that falls.

And it's like you're falling, and you see that you're falling, and you know

you just have to hit the floor.

I was just praying that I wasn't going to die.

I was a shell of my former self.

I wasn't sure where to go next.

And this is where Tony came in.

He said, come be with me.

Come be with my family. Let's make a jazz record.

Yeah. Yes. Maybe tomorrow I could come later. Well, no, she'll come earlier.

She's coming from Pennsylvania today.

Hey.

How are you? Hi. I brought you coffee.

Hi, sweetheart.

I missed you. I have to really apologize for being late today.

Should I go meet the van inside?

Yeah, who's that?

How are you doing? I'm good. How are you? Hey, guys.

My son's got a little bit to eat here.

Thank you, Tony.

Are you going to stay seated?

Yes, I'm going to stay seated.

This is a sad song. For a woman, if she's singing this song, she's just

miserable.

I think I'm sadder than you are. This song is what I mean.

Okay. Say when.

When.

One, two.

But beautiful

And

I'm thinking If you

were mine I'd never

let you go

And that would be

Yeah, I just, I have a natural inclination to stray.

I understand.

I'm sorry.

No, don't.

I'm for you, you know, 100%. I want it to be perfect.

Let's just do it again.

Okay.

Another one, please.

Want to go in again?

Yes.

You're doing it beautiful.

I could hear what you're singing and it sounds beautiful.

I wanted the album to come out so that everybody's going to say, my God, I

didn't know she sang that well.

When you accept, it makes me cry.

Well, that's it. You know, no problem.

When you're accepting of me in that way and you see that I can be a great jazz

musician and singer, it really means something to me because to me, I was

piece of trash from New York.

I understand.

And even with... You know, producers now, they still see me that way.

They just see me as a woman. But I know how wonderful you sing.

And I want it to come out so that everybody's going to say, my God, I

know she sang that well. So I want it to sound like that and be that way so that

there's longevity with it.

That is what you represent for me. You represent to me someone that knows how

last forever.

Right. I don't yet really have... really good concept of my artistic mortality

at all. I don't know if it will last. I don't know.

But I know that yours will.

And what you have done is what I want.

We're going to do it with this album.

It is all resting on this album, isn't it?

It is.

That's why I keep freaking out because I want to do a good job.

We're going to take all the time that we need to do it just right.

Okay, great.

I love what you're saying about that song.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

I want to prove that she could sing to everybody, you know, and it's always

good. You bet.

All right.

There's food out there just like these cupcakes

It

don't

mean a thing all you gotta do

All you gotta do is swing.

Doo -wah, doo -wah, doo -wah, doo -wah, doo -wah, doo -wah, Tony Gaga.

Sit.

Are we rolling?

Here we go.

Hey, Tom.

Yeah, I'm going to just extend the ending a little. You got it, Tom.

Lady, is that all right?

Yes. That way?

You can call me Gaga, Tony.

No, I'll call you Lady.

Oh, so sweet.

I wish my boyfriend would call me lady.

Are you ready, Mr. Tony Bennett?

I'm ready.

One, two, one, two, three.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

There's no difference if it's bleed art.

Give it all the rhythm that you've got.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

Yes,

ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tony Bennett.

You sound awesome.

Thank you. You are like a freak of nature how awesome you are.

You all are.

To me, this song is that feeling when you just remember none of the stuff

in your head matters at all. Because when that music comes on, it's like

everything changes. It's a game changer, right?

Very good. That's what this song is for me.

That's jazz.

I haven't... stood and sang in a long time.

I bet you my hip's worse than yours.

Definitely.

It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

No, it don't mean a thing. All you gotta do

is swing.

I think that was a take myself.

It felt very good.

Did you ever feel really lost?

Did you ever feel lost when you were working?

Oh, yeah.

I actually made a lot of mistakes when I was young.

Later on, I learned what to do.

So I'm in a stage of contentment now. That's good.

I'm happy to know that that exists in my future.

We only live a short time in our life, and if you're not careful, you're

You ever hear of Lenny Bruce?

You know about him? No.

Yes. Yeah? Yes. I knew his manager.

He said, Great line.

And it changed my life because I was high in those days.

He said he sinned against his talents.

Yeah.

And that changed me.

Yeah, I know.

It's like finding that ability to survive with the fame.

Yeah. I'm really sensitive and I self -medicate sometimes, you know?

The only...

thing I regret in my entire career. I only have one regret. I truly do. Only

one. And I do regret it, but I know that it only happened because I needed

to get through the tour.

I didn't allow myself to feel any emotional pain for like the past two

all. You know, I just numbed myself.

Because that was going so fast, Tony, that I couldn't control myself anymore

because everybody just wants something from me. And I'm so giving because I

to entertain. I live for the applause.

But I have to be mindful of pacing it because if I don't, I broke myself.

You have a tremendous talent and accept it.

Just go straight ahead.

Looking on down wide Glancing from your eyes And I'm

captivated And I

That's how I feel when I'm with you.

Captivated.

Beautiful.

You're singing great.

Thank you. This is a good day today.

Good, yeah.

Well, I just need to warm up, you know? Yeah, right.

I don't know, I get rattled by everything.

Music really rattles me.

I'm still a little girl.

I know.

But I'll be a friend.

Thank you. I just know that.

How you doing, sweetheart?

Oh, hi, Dad.

Oh, my dad's here.

Hi.

Is it all right if my dad walks?

Absolutely. Oh, that's a little bit of my dad.

You want a sneaker to see Tony Bennett?

It's 90 degrees outside.

You couldn't wear a dress?

All right,

let's run it.

Okay, here it comes.

Together dancing,

feet to feet.

Dance with me. I want my arm about

you.

That charm about you will carry

me through.

I just can't wait till we perform.

has got to be like fucking Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire and like Angels from

Heaven singing with tap dancing.

This needs to be the return of elegant.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga have announced their new jazz collaboration,

Cheek. The album's first single, Anything Goes, just hit iTunes.

Tony, there's cameras everywhere here for us. This is craziness. What's

happening?

Everybody's really going to be surprised at how she sings the great American

standard. She's a wonderful jazz singer.

Well, you're not so bad either, Tony. Thank you.

Let me welcome your school's founder, Tony Bennett, and his friend, our

guest, Lady Gaga.

You make quite an entrance.

My question is for Tony Bennett. What do you think of the way Lady Gaga dresses?

Anything she wears is beautiful.

She knows how to do it.

out in September and tell your parents that they should buy the record because

she needs the money.

Good morning, Mr. Bennett. Good morning.

How are you today?

I'm very excited today. This is the first day that they're releasing the

internationally.

There's nobody like them, you know?

Oh my God, I want to tell you something.

See the reds and blues?

Judy Garland told me, anytime you're on stage and you see the reds and blues,

she said, smile.

Okay, well.

That's a good lesson, isn't it? Yeah.

She was better than anybody.

Judy.

I'm doing Lush Life. We could put San Francisco right before Don't Mean a

No, this is better.

You have to bewitch.

Anything but love? I can't give you anything but love. That's nice. Okay.

Bobby, let me give you the new set list Mr. Bennett is putting together.

The only trouble is that there's two ballads in a row, and I don't want to do

that. Okay.

I can't give you anything but love. Yeah. How do you keep the music playing?

Yeah. Lush Life? Yeah.

Don't Mean a Thing. Perfect.

Okay? I love that.

Well done. Yeah, it's better facing these song counts that way.

Okay. See you later Did

you hear

I'm

sober pretty sober

Cheek to cheek is number one in Belgium right now. Right.

Lady Gaga sang jazz.

The Daily Beast.

As a nitpicking jazz critic, I view Gaga as more a performance artist than a

musician. She is certainly a risk taker and attention getter, but often for

matters of costume props and behavior.

Is Gaga up to this challenge?

Can she interpret the works of George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Cole

with plausibility?

Above all, can she trade phrases with Tony Bennett and not get left in the

The answer is, somewhat to my surprise, yes, she can.

Number one in Brazil, Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Greece,

Paraguay, Peru, Taiwan, Turkey, Vietnam, Argentina, Belgium, Lithuania,

Malaysia, Moldova, Singapore, Thailand.

And this is before it's even in stores.

Yeah, right. This is like pre -order.

It's big.

Yeah.

Hi, Gaga.

Hi, Ryan. Lady Gaga is with us, and she's done this album with Tony Bennett,

which is such a cool juxtaposition. He's not only a legend, but what a

gentleman. I mean, this is the old school of the music industry.

I feel so humbled to be doing this project with him. This is the most

album I've ever made. It is beautiful, and when I listen to the different

tracks, it makes me want to tuck in my shirt and dress better.

I know. You know, me too.

In olden days, a glimpse of stocking was looked on as something shocking. Now

heaven knows, anything goes.

Good office too, once knew better words. Now only use four -letter words,

writing prose.

Anything goes.

You're a dynamic duo, and you're selling out everywhere. Radio City, Las Vegas.

Yeah, we're just sold out throughout the world, all of Europe.

Pinched me, but I don't want to wake up.

This is a musical collaboration as bizarre as it is perfect. You're the

odd couple. That's what makes it good. Not a term I often use here, but they're

adorable. I've just never been so happy singing with somebody. And I laugh with

him like I laugh with my buddies in their late 20s. Hi, this is Tony Bennett

Lady Gaga in her pajamas.

What was it like performing with him? It must have been a little bit

intimidating. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow.

He asked me the question.

Okay.

I was excited to be rebellious against my pop career.

It can be a little wild.

A little?

Yeah.

I could have retired 17 years ago, but I want the young people to pick up on

jazz. Thank God you didn't retire, because what the hell would I be doing?

He taught me that legacy is about enduring, being fearless, and pushing

I feel like a bird let out of my cage, and it's all because of him.

I'm singing the trumpet. Tony drew it. I have a tattoo for every album I put

out. I wanted this one to be the biggest one, because this is the biggest moment

of my life.

Please go absolutely nuts.

For Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

You have shown me true happiness, Tony.

The jazz.

And to swing it forever.

It's always my biggest dream, was to have a full horse inside a square.

Yeah, well, this is a big one.

It's really big?

Yeah, it's big.

You know, I've been thinking about everything, and no matter what happens,

have to be in charge of the whole scene.

Yep. Every single idea, creative idea, has to come from you.

It should be all your decisions.

Oh, holy mackerel, look at that.

That's huge.

Do you see that? It's you and me.

Gosh, it's the size of the whole building.

Tony, look at our commercial.

Still beautiful.

And that's going all around the world. Everywhere.

Oh my God, it's the new man.

Putting jazz on the front page of that big commercial building.

Just give that rhythm everything you've got.

Oh, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing.

You know,

whenever I'm with you, Tony, everything that happens is right, always.

Nothing ever goes wrong.

I just know my life's on the right path because each day is better than the day

before since I met you.

And the Grammy goes to,

chief to chief, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.

And I seem to find the happiness

I seek.

When we're out together dancing, cheating.

So that I can hardly speak.

And I seem to find the happiness I seek.

Oh, Tony White, we're out together dancing.

Out together dancing.

Out together dancing cheek to cheek.

This is my dad's place.

When I'm home, I'm here all the time.

You look at these pictures of my ancestors dating back all the way to

My grandfather who made shoes.

My grandmother who made dresses.

Tony's mother was making a penny a dress.

When we hang out, our families, it's just like glue. You know, how far he's

come. and how humble he has stayed over all the years.

It's nice that people love you.

You want them to love you for who you really are.

Him helping me rediscover that confidence in myself as a musician,

helped save my life.

I just wanted to say a few things about Tony.

Some people in the world have seen us sing together, but what they may not

about is what he's taught me.

You know, when I'm having a bad day and I'm really, really sad and I just feel

like I don't even know who to call, because sometimes you don't want to call

your mom and air out everything because then she's, you know, nervous.

I call Tony.

I really do.

I really do. Like, I called home.

And he says to me, straight ahead, lady.

Just go straight ahead.

Thank you, Tony.

Thank you so much for reviving my ability to have drive again.

To want to keep going.

Straight ahead.

Happy birthday, Mr. Tony Bennett.

Hey, everyone. How amazing is this tonight? 90.

And find me with his heart, not just giving to the

arts, but giving to humanity, fighting for equal and civil rights for all

people.

I love you.

Tony. At 90, you stand alone as an artist and as a human being. Without

music, I don't think my life and my films, the films I've tried to make,

be the same.

Your music runs through my life like a river that just doesn't stop flowing.

Kentani Plus.

I wanted to do something special for Tony.

So we called everybody at the Empire State Building, and they said they'd

it up special just for you, Tom.

It's going to be lit up just like the Italian flag to commemorate your success

and legacy as an Italian -American in this country. We love you, Tony. We're

proud.

Do you remember when you told me I should sing this song?

You said, lady, this is a good song for you to sing.

Give

your

heart and soul to me.

I don't try to stay intimate.

I'm who I am.

I'm still not retiring. I'm still performing.

I love entertaining people, and I'm going to continue to do that as long as

live.

We came home one night, and he said, Susan, I'm having a hard time

the names of the musicians who he works with all the time.

So it was unusual, and I said, well, do you want to go see a doctor about it?

And he said, I do.

He would say, hey, lady, we should make a record together of all Cole

Porter songs, all love songs.

His Alzheimer's started to set on, and I said, let's go into the studio now, and

we did.

You know, I can promise you that every note that I sang,

I was thinking about how this was Tony's last album.

I knew I loved Tony before we made Love for Sale.

But then we made love for sale, and I really knew how much.

How much time do we have?

A quarter to 12 right now.

Yeah, hurry up, Picasso.

Oh, no.

Okay, let me step it up.

Bar 48, B to E to A.

Okay, and then on B3 and 4 should be C sharp to F sharp leading into B minor,

right? I came early so I could be ready. Would

I be able to rehearse?

Sure, yeah. Let's run it.

Why don't you sing this low part, and let Tony sing, don't you know, little

fool? You know what I'm saying? Like, if this is too low for him and that's too

high for you.

We'll see how he feels about it. Okay. When Tony gets here, I think we should

just try both.

Okay. And see what he likes. All right.

I'll be in the back doing my homework.

Yeah. Yeah, no, she's going to watch. Yeah.

Yes.

Hi, Tony.

Hi.

I'm so happy to see you. Yeah, you look great.

Thank you. So do you.

How's it going? Fine.

Good. Very good. How are you doing?

Good. I'm excited.

Good. Yeah.

We were just playing around with a couple different keys, so you can choose

which one makes you happiest. Okay.

Thank you.

I'm so happy to be here with you. Good.

Same here.

I've got you under my skin.

I've got you deep in the heart of me.

You're so deep in my heart, you're really a part of me.

Because I've got you under my skin.

And I love you under my skin.

Anything you want to change?

No. No?

Everything's good. Okay.

How's the key feel?

Fine. Don't want it any higher.

No. Okay.

Because we can do it higher if you want. We can do it higher and it will take

the bottom out.

Okay.

How's the tempo feel?

Fine. Okay.

Well, the boss is happy.

So we'll need to get the seat music for Tony.

I'll get it out for you.

Would you like water, Tony?

Thank you.

Perfect.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

So how was your night?

Okay. How are you doing? Good. Good.

Yeah, there's some things going on that are... A little crazy, you know. But I

went to go see Newman, the quintet that came out on the road with us. Oh. They

were playing at the Gramercy last night. Oh, how nice. It was really special.

Good.

I don't remember what I did.

That's all right.

Did you have spaghetti?

I don't remember.

Well, it was a long day.

Yeah. I forget things all the time. Yeah.

Should we try one? Why not? I'm ready.

Tony's always ready.

We are rolling.

You give me a war.

I get a kick out of you.

Get my kicks out of you. Get my kicks out of you.

Woo!

It sounds so good.

It's so much fun.

I miss this. I think all the time about how we toured.

Wasn't that fun every night?

Yeah. Every night was so fun.

I'd love to watch you sing, Tony, for your solo. No problem.

So, guys, let's put a solo in.

Four bars before the end.

You know what I mean?

Should we run it? Yeah.

Yeah.

One, two, a one, two, three, four.

Train near, but too dear.

When I'm close to you, dear,

the stars...

Deceive me.

Desert me.

I'm yours till I die.

So in love.

So in love.

So in love.

You're so beautiful.

That was so beautiful.

You really have got a way, I'll tell you. Thank you.

Yeah,

you do know. You've got to know.

You've got to know.

I want you to be happy.

I want you to be happy.

I want to be happy too.

I look sad.

I know.

But I'm happy when I'm with you. Good.

It's not really a... It's so magnificent.

Yeah, but don't stop.

Don't stop. You know what? I'm looking at this again and I'm thinking...

It's actually right. One thing I'd like you to do on the D -S, Marshall, is when

you go to the G, B flat minor 7, two beats, on the D -S,

that's going to be a solo in there. That's going to work out for you.

So in love am I.

You got to be playing for me, not for you.

Okay.

I mean, I don't feel like I'm being accompanied.

It feels like you're playing the solo and I'm kind of singing behind it.

I got to feel like where I'm at, that's how you guys are playing.

Do you understand?

Okay.

Okay.

It just feels like...

The group is louder than I'm singing.

I'm happy to not play what's here.

No, I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying you have to hear where I'm at and play for that.

Right now, I have to go with what you're doing.

It should be the other way around.

You should be playing where I'm at.

I agree, and I'm happy to do that. I know you agree, but...

You're not agreeing when we're doing it.

All right. I'll do it differently this time.

I'll do it that way.

Let's do it again.

Okay.

Are we rolling?

I think you should play softer.

Okay. Let's all play softer. Okay.

One, two, a one, two, three, four.

No, no.

You sound very voluminous and I sound very quiet.

You should be playing softer.

Okay, I'll play softer. Okay.

One, two.

One, two, three.

But true, dear, when I'm close

to you, dear.

I don't know where I'm at.

It's okay.

I don't think it's marked really clearly on your literacy when you come back.

I don't feel like I'm being accompanied. I feel like...

You guys are playing solo, and I'm underneath that.

I think it also might have something to do with the arrangement.

I think that if there was more space, you know, just throughout the...

Oh, boy.

Yeah. Just more space.

Okay. Well, let's try it one more time, all right? And if it's not happening,

we'll work on it. We'll work on it. There's so many figures here. Yeah.

We just won't play them.

Okay, let's try it.

Yeah, let's do it.

One, two. One, two, three.

I'm yours.

With you, my love, am I.

Thank you.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning. How are you today? Okay, how are you doing? Terrific.

It's going smooth.

Yeah, it is. You both sound so good together. It's really nice.

I wake up every morning counting my blessings.

I mean, I'm surrounded by all real pro guys and it all works.

Absolutely.

Hi, Tony.

Hi.

You know, I'd like to apologize for yesterday

because I didn't know what was going on.

Oh, no problem. I appreciate it. No problem.

No problem. I appreciate it. Thank you. Okay.

Guys, let's do the beginning again.

Guys, let's do that beginning again.

Tony, are you there?

What time are you coming in today?

Oh, shit, I'm late.

You have a mustache

on this cover. It's going to be different.

Did I notice about the song you were singing yesterday, Gaga?

That intro. I'd never heard that intro. Can we hear it a little?

When the little blue bird who has never said a word starts to sing

spring, spring.

It is nature that's all simply telling us to fall

in love.

Perfect.

That's why birds do it, bees do it.

Even educated, please do it.

Let's do it.

Let's fall in love.

Grandpa, look this way.

May I have your hand, Tony?

May I have your hand? Oh, yeah.

I love that.

Yeah. You guys are ready for a night on the town.

Dawn of the opera.

Going to the opera. We're going to see jazz, baby.

You know what I was thinking of doing?

Pass it to the cover, maybe.

Really? I would love that.

I'm so sad.

I'm so sad we're not singing together tomorrow.

How's it going?

Should we pick a new spot? Yeah, I'm thinking that he had the piano.

Goddard, can you play a little bit?

Perfect, perfect.

Just another way to prove I love you when it's hard today. I'll lay back

in my chair and find a way.

And when you say the thing that you say that makes me mad, I'll turn away,

I'll turn away, I'll turn away.

And think of different ways.

to keep my spirits up and choreograph flowers with playful

joyous thoughts we both know I could learn a thing or two about relaxing

but hey I love you and after all it's just another day

I could use some two or three or other kind of

ways to be but today I won't Be so hard on me.

I'll pick up unique style. Kick around with Tony today.

It's just another day.

Tom, look at me.

You remember Lady Gaga, right?

Do you remember you sang Lady is a Tramp with her?

Yeah. Okay, she's coming up here to sing with you right now.

You're rehearsing all week.

Good.

She is so excited to see you.

This is going to be good.

I know.

I'm here because I love you.

I get no kick from champagne.

Mere, mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all.

So tell me why should it? Thank you. I'm practicing.

You know the best thing though and just act like you haven't done it five times

already say let's do I get a kick out of you He'd be like, okay. Okay, if you

say take it from the bridge, it's like, huh?

Okay, do it again. I get it wrong. He doesn't want to do it. Let's do it.

see what happens. Okay.

Come on, cutie pie.

Okay. Tony.

Hi.

Ladies here.

I'm here.

How are you, Tony?

Oh, Tony.

Tony, it's a theme.

Wow.

How you feeling?

Couldn't be better. Couldn't be better?

You want to sing?

Let's sing together.

Okay. Yeah?

Yeah, man. Hi. Hey.

Me and Lee were just catching up.

Let's do I've Got You Under My Skin.

Okay. Yeah? You want to start with that? That sounds good. Yeah, I'd love to.

All right, tone.

Yeah.

Wow.

Looking good, tone.

I've got you under my skin.

I've got you deep in the heart of me.

You're so deep in my heart. You're really a part of me.

I've got you under my skin.

And I love you under my skin.

Yes, I've got you under my skin.

Under, under, under, under my skin.

Oh, Tony!

Oh my God.

I'm so happy singing with you.

Good. Am I keeping up okay? Jeez.

Jeez Louise. It's been a while.

It's been three years since we made this record.

Yeah. Wow. Yeah.

Am I starting to swing, Tony?

Oh, yeah. I'm starting to swing with you? Yeah. Oh, you're doing very well.

I've been singing jazz by myself in Las Vegas, and I've got to tell you, if I

hadn't sang jazz with you first, I'd be lost out there looking for a swing.

Looking for a swing? I'd be looking for a swing, trying to figure out where to

go, because nobody knows how to swing like you. You taught me how to swing.

Last night, when we were young, love was a star,

song unsung.

Life was so new, so real, so right, ages

ago, last night.

So now, let's reminisce.

And recollect the sighs, the kisses,

the arms that clung

when we were young

last night.

Thank you.

You made me cry.

You sound so great, and I'm going to keep doing my homework so I can make

swing up there with you, because if I'm not swinging, you've got to kick me off.

Thank you for a wonderful rehearsal, Tony.

Sweetheart.

I had so much fun rehearsing.

I can't wait to rehearse again tomorrow.

You know, with Alzheimer's, a lot of times, like you're me, and you'll say

hello, and I'll say hello.

And he doesn't understand anymore to make that. And so you have to get right

front of him and say, hey, and make the emotional connection. I think I was

nervous to do that. Yeah, I know.

Because...

With the Alzheimer's, he doesn't always understand. You know, it used to drive

me nuts. He'd sit on the couch and he wouldn't look at me, but he'd talk to me

like this.

So if you make the emotional connection by just getting into his, say, phone,

because he might just be down here.

Okay. So, and then he'll connect.

So I'm going to look at you more.

All the guys are looking forward

to seeing you tomorrow.

Good. Yeah.

Very good. Everybody misses you.

Wow. Couldn't be better.

Couldn't be better.

You showing up makes everything work.

You're the one that makes it work.

I'm just your backup, you know?

I got your back.

Is this your favorite part of the day when you're singing?

Yeah, I love working.

I love performing.

It makes people feel good.

It's true.

When you sing, there's nothing like it.

I haven't seen my parents since COVID.

So I'm going to see them later.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Whenever the time is right.

How you doing, cutie?

Hi.

You're not sleepy, are you? You want to keep singing?

What?

You getting sleepy?

Hmm?

Cutie pie?

I don't think I've ever seen anything more sweet in my whole life than you and

Susan.

Are you happy?

Yeah. Good.

We're going to sing at Radio City. Wow.

How about that? Packed houses.

For your birthday.

Beautiful. You know how old you're going to be?

How old? 95.

Oh, my God.

I'm getting young.

You're getting young.

Well, I'm so happy to have sang with you, Tone. I'm going to get out of here,

and I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay.

I'll come to you.

Take it easy. I love you very much. Thank you.

We need to... Hey, guys.

This is the swan song, guys. I mean, seriously. I don't see that we're going

be doing this again.

So, play out.

And let's be sensitive to Gaga because he needs her now.

And she's willing to take that on.

The band's here waiting for you, Tony.

Okay. You haven't seen them for a year.

Wow.

I look forward to it.

And here he is.

Okay. Hey, hey.

Mr. Bennett. Hey! How you doing?

It's great to see you. How are you?

Hi, Danny.

All right.

Swingin' room.

Should we sing?

Would you like to sing Love for Sale?

Okay.

When the only sound in the empty street... Good, and I'll give you an

He's a heavy shred of the heavy feet. I'll give you. A lonesome cop. Good.

She opens shop. I think it could be nice to just follow him.

So if he starts singing, let's just follow him. I might not be in that key.

You know what I mean? I might not be in the key. That's okay.

Can you find him?

Okay, find him.

Thank you.

Tony, do you mind if I just use the ladies room real fast? No problem. I'll

right back.

Would you like a chair along the way? Yeah, thank you very much. You're

Oh, hi there.

You're doing great. It's okay. I just don't want to cry.

Use your instincts. You know him as a performer better than anybody

else. I'm saying all of us.

He's in your hands right now.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just going to wipe my face and I'll be right back.

How you doing?

Okay. Are you having fun?

Yeah. Yeah?

I like that I'm working again.

That's right, you're going to work all week.

He loves this so much. When do you pull it back?

You know, it's a tough decision, but we just want to make it meaningful for him.

Don't be afraid to sight transpose.

You got it. This is the time. I can.

Listen, I'm going to try.

What would make you feel happy right now?

You. Me?

Oh, Tony.

You make me feel happy right now.

All right. Here we go.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Tony Bennett tonight.

Night and day.

Day and night.

Night and day.

Day and night.

Night.

So no matter what happens, no matter what we do together, I'm going to make

that the band is always following you. Wow.

You know what you're doing.

Yeah.

You know what you're doing.

I learned from you.

So if I know what I'm doing, it's because you know what you're doing.

Because I learned it all from you.

Thank you.

I'm so glad you're here. I'm glad you're doing this for me.

I was like, I don't know if I can do this because I was so worried about him.

And then I realized that he deserves a show like that.

I've decided that if I could go back and talk to my friend, I know he would tell

me to be confident and proud and be myself.

And what that means to me is that I should not show up.

Like, drunk, with my head hanging over a trash bin. You know what I mean?

I can feel him saying to me, do what we did. And also, I want to make

it really clear that there's something that's going to be gone when Tony is not

doing this anymore.

We want to honor that he's the last of the greats.

And I want Tony in the museum.

You guys know how you're entering.

First day boy is here.

Welcome back, Mr. Bennett.

All right.

Rehearsal today.

No audience right now.

So just to be clear, as a lighting note, Watch What Happens will be in blue for

Mr. Bennett.

This will be great. He has a blue pocket square.

He's trying to get the bed of roses ready for Tony.

I'm nervous about it not being done in a way where Tony understands, like, this

happens and this happens. Like, I'm trying to, like, do for Tony what he

do if he could.

I just want to make sure that this is just as pristine as when we were on

Right, right. And because we're doing this in less of a time frame, that we go

from top to bottom, we're clear on what does the announcement sound like, where

do I start when I come out. I just don't want to wing it. The whole world's

going to see it.

Hi.

Thanks, Mommy.

How are you doing, all right?

Um, it's just difficult, Dad. I feel like I have no time.

There's so much of me that wants to fly home and hide.

I'm trying to get some soul into my voice right now, and it's because

everything's not sitting in the right spot.

Okay.

Maybe I'm just nervous. I haven't been on stage in so long. Shit.

We got this.

We're doing it, though.

Okay. We honor him.

We're here.

Okay. You've got this. Be strong. Okay.

There's no crying in jazz.

Hi, Tony.

Happy birthday.

Good to see you. How are

you? Good.

It's going to be packed, sold out all the way to the top.

Would you like to sing Anything Goes?

Why?

Because Cole Porter said so.

I thought I was getting paid for it.

You are getting paid for it. Oh, good.

Well, let's do it then. All right, let's do it.

Oh, my God, yeah.

The wild card is when Tony gets in front of an audience, it's a whole other

thing for him, how he's going to react.

He hasn't experienced that yet.

All right, I'm going to go get to more work. Got to make this show perfect for

you.

You take care of the personal stuff, I'll take care of the things.

You got it. Okay. Thank you, Tony. All right. Thank you.

Okay. Thank you.

You realize how great that was and that was the first?

Did you have fun?

We'll go back and do it all over again.

Very good.

With an audience.

With an audience, yes.

I don't know.

This is Tony Bennett Day in New York, in honor of the New York City treasure and

the icon's 95th birthday. And to mark the occasion, he will perform alongside

Lady Gaga at Radio City Music Hall tonight as his final concert of his

Happy birthday, Tony Bennett.

Yeah.

It's amazing.

That's why we're here.

How long are we going to be in this room?

In this room?

About another ten minutes.

And then we're going to watch Lady Gaga.

And then you go on.

Okay. Okay?

Thank you, man.

All right.

Let's pray.

I feel like I prepared my whole life for this moment.

I'd like to dedicate every note on this stage, every... Swing every rhythm

to Tony Bennett.

He reminds me that we're enough just the way we are.

But it's a choice to go deeper.

And it's also a choice to know that you are excellent and be endlessly in

pursuit of excellence that never stops.

Danny, is there anything you want to say about your dad?

No, because I'll start bawling.

No, thank you, everybody. I mean, this is the chapter, you know. And Tony,

as you said, never looks back, always looks forward. So I look at this as just

another beginning.

And have fun.

Swing it on three.

Right in the middle.

One, two, three.

Whiskey!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to one last time an evening with

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga This is going to be an extraordinary night

What do I

do when I go out there you think

Enjoy. You're in for an historic night.

It's filled up?

Yep. It's sold out Radio City Music Hall waiting for you to sing.

Wow. It's quite spectacular.

Is there a balcony in this theater?

There's three balconies.

Couldn't be nicer.

So is this theater in New York?

Yes, babe. You've performed here 25 times.

Wow.

You're gonna go on next, okay? Yeah.

Charlie, watch what happens.

Let someone not believe in you.

Like I believe in you.

He's my friend.

He's my musical companion.

And he's the greatest singer in the whole world.

I'll never forget this moment for the rest of my life.

Please, cheer for him and make him smile.

You better yell.

You better laugh.

You better cry.

You better give your soul because it's up to you.

No one.

Wait for the band.

Okay, we can go. Walk with me.

I don't know what you're doing. Walk with me. We're going to go out to the

piano. Right. Come on.

Knees out here.

Okay.

Where do I go? Right to the piano.

Right where you come.

Let someone start believing in you.

Let him hold out his hand.

Let him find you and watch what happens.

Oh, let someone with a deep love to give,

give his deep love to you.

What magic you see.

Let someone give his heart.

Someone who cares like me.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

generosity, your creativity, and your

kindness. Thank you. Your service through all the years.

And Mr. Bennett, it would be my honor to escort you off the stage.

And then he said my name. And then we started rehearsing.

You realize you're using all those lines on stage.

I do. I say beautiful.

Wow. I do this.

Tony, on stage tonight, I did this.

They like that. The audience loves that.

You taught me everything.

I'm going to give you a big hug, okay?

He'll take it.

I'm going to give you a big hug.
