Review of Tony Bennett and George Michael Duet
I'm not sure I like this review, "Bennett
Brings Back Class to Duets Format."
Still, the duet format

You Keep the Music Playing," the Greek-British pop star doesn't even try to keep
up with the grandfatherly icon on the chart's famous climax, in which Mr. Bennett
executes a breathtaking chromatic ascent to a mountainous high note.
