Tony & Amy: “Drinking Again”?
Tony Bennett, who’s been around longer than God, has a history of performing with young, of-the-moment singers. So it’s no surprise that he’s teaming up to record a duet with Amy Winehouse. No word yet about the song they’ll do. I don’t expect that it will be “You Can’t Touch This” or “How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?” More likely, it will be a classy American-songbook standard. How about the Doris Tauber/Johnny Mercer melancholy melody “Drinking Again”? Sure, it’s been done by Aretha, Sinatra, and Bette, but I’ve never heard it done as a duet.
