[paolowestwest55555]

l'eleganza in note.

[Woodwindtimestwo]

Magic

[lovesdolls88]

I've replayed this a hundred times. I want to fall in love again.

[jayseah32]

@lovesdolls88

The best of luck to you on this aspiration.

[StandardSam1]

I love this. I wish K D would make some old jazz standard albums!!! She has the most amazing voice for this genre.

[sherry5802]

kd sings like no-one else on earth!  Love her! Tony pretty good too........

[missbikergirl]

So so so beautiful!

[kanibus08]

Because of both of them we all get to listen to a great song...

[italianluvah83]

possibly one of the best duos ...ever

[coccsasha]

beautiful 1950 or now with kd lovely song lovely singers

[vccstudents]

This was my parents' song. My mother died in June, and my father can't hear this. It makes him cry uncontrollably.

[londonemski]

@vccstudents Sincere condolences to you and your father. x

[LinMingXin]

KD, I love you!! And with Tony Bennett? Almost too awesome for words!

[swmdal]

Beautiful recording, but the talking spoils it.

[langsense]

@swmdal

It is a promo video but if you look on yt, you will find the full vocal version.

[TheFangoriaFan]

@swmdal I don't mind...her voice puts me in another world. I need the interview to bring me back to Earth, lol.

I've always loved Tony Bennett. Hearing them together, singing one of my favorite songs...oh, my! I couldn't ask for more.

Thank you, langsense. :)

[leonoragomez100]

sooo very nice rendition..love it much

[celestian1111]

KD and Tony are beautiful together. They obviously love each other as well. Tony is very good in duets. See Dianna Krall and Amy Winehouse and others

[2612152]

I keep listened to this over and over, I can't get over how beautiful their voices are together. Magical.

[piichidr]

I love it!!

[Basoflakes]

Tony Bennets "Duets Two" is the number one selling album in America - that's not bad, baby.

[moecat1000]

wow,, like peas and carrots

[kamckenzie]

Love this duet of both of them. K. D. Lang has a super voice and of course, Tony is awesome.

[jazzmm99]

KD LANG???? MY FAVORITE!!! SHE"S AWESOME!!! AND TONY B ... OH I LOVE HIM TOO!!!



[yowzephyr]

I think K.D. Lang and Wayne Newton should do a duet together, don't you? They'd be something together.

[TheCaulfield1]

This to me is the kinda music were you can just close your eyes, relax and listen contently to every word being sung and every tune being played.....SIMPLY GORGEOUS!! ♥♥♥

[eudoxieeba]

[RosieSpanner]

K D Lang lovely

[Patnickel]

[777teressa]

I love tony Bennett and I love kd lang !! Beautiful song !! There so awsome together

[ApollosPlace]

I find it interesting this copyright BS and pulling of video and songs. I can't begin to list the amount of new media I have purchased having watched performances here on YouTube. Just this summer I'm going to 2 concerts directly affected by seeing cuts here on YouTube.

They shouldn't be so keen to cut off their nose to spite their face.

[LUMADY1]

bueno de verdad....porque non contestar?????

[LUMADY1]

que bueno non?....un saludo desde Madrid - españa

[Zoquicho]

To you both my best thanks.

[bsdvak]

Amazing!

[1billwill]

Tony and KD Lang ARE GREAT

[34cellardoor]

@1billwill Absolutely

[HandwhistlerBen]

What incredible talent is up here. Each are fantastic on their own, but together they are something heavenly and awesome.

[Blucorngirl]

Her voice is like silk against his burlap sound.

[donnahill1026]

She kills me....she has that sexy siren voice and yet she's so manly in her apearance. She's wonderful.....I adore her!

[butfulmuzik]

Tony Bennett & KD Lang-- what a magical combination. They were made for each other musically. And , oh, the wonderful, classics they have reworked so beautifully. I'm a huge fan of both, together or apart. Keep em' coming you two.

[red93093]

Because of YOU!!! This is all about my children and wonderful Scotty!!! love and hugs to all

[ThePrincesszuli]

Ma ditemi un pò....

Che dolcezza è???

[sonho2730]

BRASIL!!!! Que dueto!!!! Que cantor!!Sempre gostei dele! Abraços.

[creekxx206]

romantic songs make me melt ♥ thank you ♥

I love you Chris ♥

[Face202]

Whoever does the mixing on this video and leaves the trumpet solo out and makes them talk over the soloing is a jerk and doesn't understand this kinda music

[atinbel]

i love it

[pedritapandora]

So pretty!! Wonderful......

[charlys961]

A mio parere e Tony Bennett, più bella musica !!!!

[89896655]

two of the best

[voodoobaby405]

Tony and k.d. together. Pure heaven.

[levnisara]

This is such a beautiful song. My father died a week ago and when I hear this song it reminds me of him. He loved Tony Bennett. Harry hope you cabn hear this in heaven, I will love you always!!!

[pedritapandora]

So sorry about your father....My mother died 10 years ago, and I miss her until today...God blessed you and your family and he RIP.

[zedhed1982]

I adore this!!! Tony Bennett has a special place and now Kd is there as well...What a beautiful pair! I Love You K.d!!! I Love You Tony!!!!

[QUICKFOXTANGO]

Absolutely superb! Great duo, marvellous old song which means so much to me and no doubt to thousands of others.

SUPERB.

[loriannpat]

So pretty,great combo, loved the interview also.

[jayseah32]

Wow! What a treat! Thanks to "langsense."

[calerouan]

Just to hear these two together is somewhat of a genius ........

[galanie]

k.d. has the silkiest voice!

[damone77]

God Tony was in great voice for this duets album. I play this album all the time and love it each and every time!!!!

[saichi2077]

It's awsome

and fantasti!!

[dizneymaniac]

tony bennett! :DD

lovely~ very smooth.. :]]

[jcchan819]

KD Lang to me is about one of the best female vocalist of classic american songs. She should have her own american songbook.

[donnahill1026]

@jcchan819 Absolutely!

[mwillenberg]

@jcchan819

pity she's Canadian eh?

[realormemorex]

@jcchan819 I agree except she's Canadian so maybe she should have her own Canadian songbook. :-)

[chooch299]

@jcchan819 best part is...she's Canadian! Go Canada Go!

[chickenlampbrent]

@chooch299 the best part? don't be daft. The best part is what you're listening to. We Canadians are not supposed to gloat and hoot about how great we are. You do us all a dis-service.

[dnaisinmybody]

@jcchan819 Lol thanks for answering my question. So it's a butch lesbian not a girly guy lol

[dnaisinmybody]

@dnaisinmybody SORRY! I had to rectify what I just said because most people probably will think wrong of me. It was just a joke don't get me wrong she's an amazing singer and I certainly don't hate homosexuals.

[cableaddict]

@jcchan819

Absolutely.  She is amazing. - though I actually don't like her performance here all that much.

[londonemski]

Tony Bennett is my dad's favourite singer. We grew up with his stuff alongside the Beatles and all the great British pop at the time in the 60s. He loves k.d. too!

And he and my mum are still together, still in love, nearly 60 years later. How lucky my sisters and I are. Love you, you cranky, twisted, adorable things! xx

[politimisk]

amazing song!

[worldofnana1]

this girl can .and Tony Bennett is the best,

[JMRR2008]

This was my parents wedding song. They have been married for 48 years are still in love. Daddy still calls Mom his bride. I have been so blessed to grow up in home where your parents love each other. it does not happen often but when it does wow. I am blessed.

[MixedMasteress1323]

I have that blessing too.. it's great. My parents still go out on dates. its so cute. :D

[sonyarose8]

My folks will be married at the end of this year - 49 years. What a coincidence! ... :) Love is Unconditional. Thru bad times; Thru good times...

[wandawilcox]

So beautiful!

[ThePwog]

great great stuff. We all need more music like this, and not that stupid rap crap

This is GREAT music....and I need more!

[odoanna1]

she does that SOOOO well! and with a legend like Tony... Talent finally shows...

[damilla1958]

I guess I'm biased, but I like k.d. singing this kind of music. The feeling and control is better than any other style. Thanks for posting this!

[sdakotag]

I love kd lang. i so wish i could find a girl that was like her

[strecot]

Wow! k.d. lang is my favorite singer!

[MUSKOKO]

Tony Bennett is a great singer. I have no heard for 50 years a wonderful song called "One Kiss Away From Heaven'' I can''t find it anywhere. javy

[Sudschick610]

OMG! I love them both! To have them together is so much more than perfect! Thank you!

Sudsy

[langsense]

[sonnyp7]

Very nice duet!

[mrsantiagoguerrero]

this is a classical tony is greater singer in America santiago guerrero

[kimatoz3]

Tony Bennett certainly made the right choice teaming up with k.d. lang. WOW!

[myhighlanddream]

kd lang is the most underrated talent of our generation. at the induction of roy orbison in the R&R Hall of Fame, when she sang Pretty Woman, someone was heard to say, "Roy Orbison is still alive and his name is kd lang."

[TheMarthalieja]

I didn?t know k.d.lang, she has wonderful voice and the duet with tony is incredible, they fix very well, I like it very much. Well, Tony is wonderful all of you know it. BRAVO and thank you for this moments to my ears.

[kaisajade]

They're so good together! It's true what they said..All of their songs together are amazing! Thanks for posting this up. This is real music and talent.

[steviebkhall]

I love tony ! A master !

[ochinochi]

Wow! I cannot love this anymore! Simply the best!

[mosyahrial]

Because of you...what a magic song....hope my mom can hear this in heaven dancing with my pop....

[TheBitterWeed]

What a great thing to ask of life... my sentiments go whole heartedly to you... and them. x

[mosyahrial]

Sometimes or many times, we take things for granted. When I was away in college, my parents sang this song together and recorded their singing on this "because of you" on tape, and they sent the tape to me.. Sadly, I lost it! Thanks for your comment...

[the4thstooge]

two voices like silk , the heart swells when human potential to create such beauty is realized. they are here to give us comfort in hard times,nature provides balence in all forms, bless them both and thank God .

[lindalee050299]

HOT!

couldnt have said it better myself ... :)

[tossmeacarrot]

lang and Bennett are undeniably wonderful singers, highly talented people. But to say in the intro "No copyright infringement intended" is silly. Copyright infringement does not depend on intention, it depends on whether you infringe on copyright. Besides which, it obviously is intentional. I don't complain that this video is posted, but if I owned the copyright on any part of it, I certainly would. Saying 'whoops, I didn't mean it' confers no protection at all. Just saying.

[langsense]

Well, all I can say is if you feel that strongly about it then please feel free inform the copyright owners so that they can remove the video.

and avoid watching any other coprighted material on yt.

[PribekRJ3]

what a pair, they sound wonderful together

[Dreambro1]

I think KD would look good in a suit n tie too

[edchaves]

She will turn 48 in November and Tony will turn 83 next August 3rd.

[06seaplane]

Wow...what a fantastic performance. They both make it look so easy.....yeah 'cause there both such consumate artists. Love the arrangement, great horn..any idea who's on that horn? nice editing also....

[crescendo518]

chris botti recorded the trumpet parts

[zigeunerlein]

That´s music guys....music for heart and soul i love it !

[diemuenchnerin]

Zum Hinwegschmelzen ....

[samsofo]

she has an amazing voice, bit of a lesbian thing going on though

[XenaLin]

lmao .. good morning .. you do know she is one ??

[samsofo]

yep

[spfane]

@samsofo Whats the reason for that disclaimer? She's a singer, not someone who is looking to get into your personal life, why can't she just be a singer?

[qbanmanny3]

They are both great artists !!!!

[billyboy630]

What a difference in generations

Tony is a class act gentleman, suit and tie

KD looks like a bum

I miss the older generation more respectful

[LeadAngelWarrior]

these two are somethin else

makin me smile at least

and that's kind of hard to do right now

[Eyzuu1]

Is she still living? What year was this? I'm an idi.. xDD

[WritingJenny73070]

she's INCREDIBLE

[LeadAngelWarrior]

This is good, but I'm gonna fall asleep any minute, so off to something else. :)

[Eyzuu1]

IDK with you but, I love her..

[yezbok]

That's the beauty of celebrity - you know that those who do love you do it with passion... No indifference...

[levnisara]

simply the best!!!!

[dwtslvr]

I sang this this past weekend at a karaoke place. 1st time I ever sang it and I was complimented so much. It felt really good with the compliments. Thanks for posting this, I never would have tried it had I not heard KD Lang sing it as my pitch is about the same as hers.

[MusicDude86]

wow...I didn't think they would have a karaoke version of this song available.

[dwtslvr]

Actually karaoke only with Tony Bennet version. Not with KD Lang, but if I find someone who can sing a duet with me that would be bonus.

[dwtslvr]

I keep coming back to listen to this wonderful duet. It is so reminiscent of romance.

[brewepau]

Tony Bennett is the guardian angel of the American Songbook. The spirits of Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Joe Williams and a few others are still present in his interpretations - And he has always given credit to those wonderful forebears for the innovations they gave to the music. K. D. Lang must feel so good here. She sure sounds like it. Her gratitude to Tony (who is one of the only living conduits for the great jazz singer spirits) shines through her eyes.

[VikingScotGirl]

I just needed a TIME OUT and I'm all better now...back to work. : )

[myfamilynme]

absolutely beautiful!

[Morecake2]

Absolutely superb. Bennett always makes singing sound so easy and his voice retains some wonderful timbre, which contrasts well with Ms Lang's.

[rhomp2002]

You are right about being born too late. I was a kid back then and the music was unbelievable. All the Gershwin tunes and the R&H and Johnny Mercy and Irving Berlin and all the other ones like this one. Just fantastic.

The tune works just by itself. Doesn't need a lot of messing around and electronic enhancement to sound wonderful.

[jmcread]

"It's paradise to be near you like this..."

Lovely. Thanks for the clip.

[fernfeyes]

It saddens me to see how the world has changed. I was born too soon,

[dwtslvr]

It's Moonglow and also listen to Dream a Little Dream, they are both good

[dirtyfishydishcloth]

langsense...what would we do without you....thanks.

[langsense]

aw shucks! you made me blush.

[therlref]

i didnt realise what a good voice KD Lang had, Tony it goes without saying.

[twinlorna]

Two great voices.
