LADY GAGA: How do you honor the most important

and enduring voice of the last century

and someone who's been a mentor,

a savior and a dear friend?

Official YIFY movies site: YTS.MX

Tony's career has spanned eight decades

and in all of that time

he's never given less than his very best.

So that's how I want to honor him tonight,

by giving more than I ever knew I had

and making Tony proud.

[audience cheering]

So, when I first met Tony Bennett,

the man of the night,

his 95th birthday, a round of applause.

[applause]

When I first met Tony,

I was singing at a charity event.

And somebody came to me after the show and they said,

"Tony Bennett would like to meet you,"

and I said, "Excuse me?"

[audience laughing]

They said, "Mr. Bennett, Tony Bennett,

he would like to meet you."

And I sang a couple of jazz numbers that night

so I was real, real nervous to meet Tony Bennett.

Plus, I looked crazy,

I had blonde in my hair, and black in my hair,

red lipstick, I had four big velvet moles on my face,

- I mean-- - [audience laughing]

I was doing my thing.

[audience laughing]

And I went to meet Mr. Bennett

and he said, "Lady,

you are a jazz singer."

[audience cheering]

And I said, "Tony, thank you so much,

you only heard me sing two songs."

And he said, "That's all I need to hear,

you're a jazz singer, I can tell."

And then he said,

"Would you make a record with me?"

[applause]

Right then and there, he said it, right there.

And I said, "Yes, I will."

And I kept my word,

and the song that I sang that night that Tony heard

was a song called "Orange Colored Sky"

and I'm gonna do it for you right now,

'cause this is the song that brought me and Tony together.

Whoo!

That's swinging, you feel it?

♪ I was walking along

♪ Mindin' my business

♪ When out of that orange colored sky ♪

♪ Flash! Bam! Alakazam!

♪ Wonderful you came by

♪ I was hummin' a tune

♪ Drinkin' in sunshine

♪ When out of that orange colored view ♪

♪ Wham! Bam! Alakazam!

♪ I got a look at you

♪ Oh, one look and I yelled "timber" ♪

♪ Watch out for flying glass ♪

♪ Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out ♪

♪ I went in to a spin

♪ And I started to shout, "I've been hit" ♪

♪ "This is it, this is it!" ♪

♪ I was walking along

♪ Mindin' my business

♪ When love came and hit me in the eye ♪

♪ Wham! Bam! Alakazam!

♪ Out of the orange colored sky ♪

Come on!

Everybody, Brian Newman!

LADY GAGA: Coming up, I serenade the man of the hour

and this beautiful city.

You ain't seen nothing yet.

This is CBS.

[audience cheering]

I love you so much.

I do.

So we're all here to celebrate Tony's 95th birthday.

And some people would say that he's getting older...

but Tony's always been young to me.

He's always been my friend,

he's always been my musical companion.

And Cole Porter,

one of Tony's favorite jazz writers...

I think that Cole Porter would've put it differently.

Thanks for sharing your seat with me.

[piano playing]

Cole Porter would've said...

Tony is not just getting older.

It's nature, that's all.

[applause]

Uh, I think you should stay standing.

I have someone to introduce.

[cheering and applause]

But I can't just introduce him by talking.

I gotta sing him.

And the song that feels truest to my heart...

and the song that when I sing it I feel so proud...

that I walked these streets,

dragging my piano around New York...

[audience cheering]

...praying that someday, somebody would think

I was talented.

That someday all the hard work,

that the legacy of my ancestors put in would come through.

[applause]

And what I never knew,

that I know now...

is that it was right under my feet.
