Tony Bennett, Lady Gaga Duet Album Due This September

Showbiz 411's Roger Friedman reports exclusively that the highly anticipated jazz duet album featuring Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga will be released this September.

The legendary singer, who was a guests at last night's annual dinner for the Museum of the Moving Image, tells Friedman that the album, titled "Cheek to Cheek," will be available in stores or to download in September. The project, originally scheduled for release in March, was most probably delayed due to Gaga's busy ARTPOP tour schedule.

"Wait til you hear her voice," Bennett gushed of his singing partner. "She's a real singer." Asked if the 88-year-old plans to tour in the near future he replied, "We're always doin' our thing."

Bennett and Gaga had worked together previously on a duet of Richard Rodgers & Hart's 'Lady is A Tramp' from PAL JOEY. The song appeared on Bennett's bestselling DUETS II album.
