The iconic singer, who died at age 96, released Grammy-winning collaborations with some of the greatest acts of all time, including Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, Celine Dion and George Michael.
Gaga said jazz was truer to her nature than pop music. “So much of what I’ve done has been heavily Auto-Tuned or made very electronic to fit on the radio, but this is so much easier because I’m a rebel and this is really rebellious for me to say goodbye to pop for a moment and just sing some pure jazz.” Gaga and Bennett recorded a second album, 2021’s, which became Bennett’s final album.
They filmed the recording; an intimate, beautiful clip of the talented performers singing tightly with passion. The song appeared on, and the collaboration won best pop duo/group performance at the 2012 Grammys, where Winehouse’s parents accepted the honor onstage alongside Bennett during the show’s pre-telecast. “We shouldn’t be here. Our darling daughter should be here,” Winehouse’s father, Mitch, said after he and the singer’s mother, Janis, embraced Bennett.
