Lady GaGa and Tony Bennett To Record Jazz Album In June
ABC/WENNTony Bennett has revealed that he will step into the studio with close pal Lady GaGa to record a new jazz album in June.
The unlikely duo developed a close friendship after they performed a cover of Lady is a Tramp on Bennett's Duets II album, and the 86-year-old crooner believes their forthcoming long player will establish his outlandish singing partner as one 'one of the best jazz singer's anyone has ever heard.'
We're working on it (the album) from now until June, and then we'll record in June, he told Rolling Stone. She's phenomenal. I get along great with her. She's looking forward to it and so am I.

Bennett who has previously collaborated with Amy Winehouse also revealed that GaGa videoed a special message for him on his 85th birthday in 2011.
News of the collaboration comes just weeks after the 26-year-old singer was forced to cancel the outstanding dates on her Born This Way World Tour after picking up a painful hip injury a move that could mean a potential loss of up to 16 million in earnings.
Her third album, Artpop, is expected to drop later this year.
