I just do not have any idea how it can get much prettier and more thoughtful music that brings back all those years ago and wishes we have done different and more thoughtful music than this
Tony I already knew, but QL I had no idea! Fabulous duet!💖. RIP Tony B, we already miss you, but we know your flying high and soaring. See you up there. 💖
Totalmente de acuerdo 😍 He sentido tres emociones a la vez... 😲 Sorpresa, incredulidad y he notado CÓMO SE ERIZABA TODO EL VELLO DE MI PIEL!!!! 😝😜 MARAVILLOSO 🤩🥴
Absolutely! When she sang "When You're Good to Mama" in the movie "Chicago", I jumped to my feet, applauded, & shouted Brava, Multi Brava. Everyone looked at me like I was nuts. I said, "did any of you know she could sing like that; that performance deserves a Standing O". PS- The projectionist had to stop & rewind the movie back by 10 min because that's how long all of us wound up standing, applauding, & cheering.
Queen Latifah's singing is so effortless. She was made to sing big band ballads. Her album Dana Owens is absolutely stunning. She can also belt out some mighty fine blues. I gave her a Standing O for her performance as Matron "Mama" Morton in "Chicago" after she sang "When You're Good to Mama". The whole theater thought I was crazy but I said, "Did any of you know she could sing like that; I certainly didn't? She deserves a Standing O." The whole theater got up & also gave her Standing O. The applause went on so long that the projectionist stopped the movie & rewound it to just after she finished singing. What a tremendous performance. She went on to play Bessie Smith, & did a stellar job. Queen Latifah is truly a multi-talented person.
@@jeffreyplatt7457 Since he now has Alzheimer’s and is in his mid 90’s he won’t be around much longer, do the math. There’s always someone who has to make a smartass comment. 🙄🙄
Queen Latifa is in a class by herself. She is a great actress, singer., and I bet a fine dancer to boot. This is s great version of one of the best songs ever written. What a duo!!!
ua-cam.com/video/mub-gyuPFlw/v-deo.html Here is the best version of Lush life I have ever heard. This classic by Billy Strayhorn is one of the most challenging songs for jazz singers....Queen Latifah is simply amazing.
A stunning performance. You gotta believe that Queen Latifah's mama is super proud that her daughter is singing side by side with the great Tony Bennett. How do these improbable dreams come about? Enormous talent and luck.
Luck?! Do you think Tony Bennet will just pick whoever he sings with randomly? I do agree Queen Latifah is talented, but it's no "lucky accident" to record a duet with Tony Bennet.
@@heliaalves9062 Anybody who is anybody readily admits to luck in their careers. It is no insult to say that someone was lucky.

Me thinks that the Queen needs to be in the recording studio more often. I knew she could sing, but this + Tony (94) and wonderful orchestration, she could cut a few albums for jazz standards.
You need to listen to her "The Dana Owens Album"; it is glorious. Queen Latifah's vocal tones remind me of Sarah Vaughan & Shirley Horn... so smooth, so warm, so controlled, so natural.
Ms. Queen, as a singer and teacher, I knew that you have had training and could also sing this Genre. PLEASE continue and put out more and of these types of orchestral "lovlies". To have been able to sing with the incomproble Mr. Bennett, is extraordinary! Please, Please continue! Your voice is a God given gift indeed. May God continue to Bless you!❤💖❤👍🏽😊😉 Signed, Ms. J. "New York"
@@janicedixon8032 "The Dana Owens Album" & "Trav'lin' Light". Her UA-cam video of "Lush Life" is lovely. Queen Latifah can sing anything but her voice was truly made for the old standard ballads. I could listen to those albums all day, every day.
I know this is late but I remember hearing her sing during a tribute of deceased Hollywood actors in one of those Academy awards shows. I said to myself wow she could sing. And she was cast in the musical film Chicago so I also heard her sing there.
In the 2003 film of the musical Chicago, as prison matron Mama Morton she powerfully belted and masterfully emoted the 1920s~esque torch song, "When You're Good to Mama (Mama's Good to You)." But here (newly to many of us) she shows she can vocally caress a ballad with the best of them, e.g., Maestro Tony Bennett.
@@JudgeJulieLit QL has the vocal ability to sing different genres of music. That proves she has 'CHOPS'. If you haven't seen her in the biopic "Bessie", get it... her singing was wonderful.
Tony Bennett brings out the best in anyone he sings with. Now that is especially important here because so does Latifah (actually, she's Dana here in full bloom). Look at what we got!

Have you heard "The Dana Owens Album" (2004)? A definite departure from hip-hop; Queen Latifah does jazz, soul, and R&B covers of songs by artists such as Al Green, Bill Withers, and Billy Strayhorn, among others. Her version of "Lush Life" is wonderful!!
The whole album is the best thing I've ever heard, Tony compliments the artists as they do him, Moments and feelings to never forget. Puts me in another planet. Joe
Queen Latifah has a beautiful voice, and there is no measure for the Great Tony Bennett. They worked well together neither of them taking the limelight. True Performers. Really enjoyed!
What a most beautiful duet. Queen Latifah has an amazing voice. I think she should record an album of these old standards. It would be a hit. A lot of people would love it. I know I’d scoop it up. A real privilege to listen to.
Queen Latifah has such a beautiful voice. I'm not a hip hop fan, so it's nice to get to hear her sing a genre I enjoy. These Tony Bennett duets are wonderful.
Not surprised how awesomely smooth and universally -jazz-standard her voice is. As an authentic vocal musician.... she's Always had it....❤ I continually applaud her.❤️
Agreed??? You have to be kidding. Queen Latifah & KD Lang were the best of the vocal duets with Tony Bennett. Their vocals have to be able to stand alone to be able to sing with a big band singer. You can't fake that; you either have it or you don't.
@@dee_dee_place You're right. Just because many of us didn't know what a great singer QL is doesn't mean that somehow singing with Tony Bennett gave her that talent. She's a fantastic talent in her own right.
@@mollylindell6009 I have always loved Tony Bennett & I smiled through this whole video. QL is singing so effortlessly, it's a pleasure to hear her do this beautiful standard. They sound wonderful together. I gave QL a standing ovation (in the movie house) after hearing her sing "When You're Good to Mama" from the movie, "Chicago". That was the very first time I realized what a powerhouse voice she had. She has released at least one 'standards' cd "The Dana Owens Album" & it's fantastic. I love when a singer can pull off different genres of music; it shows 'THEIR CHOPS'. Jennifer Hudson is in that group of singers along with QL & KD Lang.
Queen. It's 6:20 am in Texas. Just heard you for the first time ever singing. I am truly mesmerized! A truly great duet! Queen. Girl you have class! God bless always!
How wonderful the opportunity that Maestro Bennett provided Queen Latifah! Queen Latifah is a classical singer, turned rap-artist, instead of the other way around. Who knew:)
My heart melts when I hear this duet. This collaboration is beyond beautiful. Their voices compliment one another's to the millionth degree. Thank you Tony and Queen Latifah!!!!
![The songs most loved by Ella Fitzgerald [Jazz, Smooth Jazz]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/XGlLm5b9SlM/mqdefault.jpg)
She would have been a star in the 20's, 30's, 40's or the 50's. The voice rings true in any age.
I love it when Tony's duet partners show their true talent. Queen Latifah has a beautiful voice.
Sayitagainnnnn
Bennett was 84 when this was recorded.
What in the world?? ❤❤❤❤❤
Still in excellent voice - bravo 👏👏👏👏
As long as I have known that Queen Latifah existed, I never knew she had such a beautiful voice.
Queen should record a CD of standards.
Absolutely right on…
She has
She has at least two CD's of standards now. They are great!
She has already done, probably more than one.
I just do not have any idea how it can get much prettier and more thoughtful music that brings back all those years ago and wishes we have done different and more thoughtful music than this
The Queen needs to make a recording of standard songs! She’s got a beautiful voice!! Sing, sing Queen!
QUEEN LATIFAH IS VERY TALENTED SHE SHOULD MAKE MORE ALBUMS.
I can’t believe this great voice belongs to queen Latifa. Thank you Tony for making an album with so many great voices
Goodnight , Tony. Thanks for sharing the American Songbook to multiple generations and you courage during the Civil Rights Era!
I never knew Queen Latifah could sing so beautifully. Awesome duet! Who doesn't want to sing with Tony, even I do and I cant sing
Watch Chicago, she’s amazing in that film!
The Dana Owens project is a great album by Queen Latifah
lol...me too🎤
Tony I already knew, but QL I had no idea! Fabulous duet!💖. RIP Tony B, we already miss you, but we know your flying high and soaring. See you up there. 💖
See her in the movie chicago
It's unbelievable what a wonderfully beautiful singing voice Queen Latifah has.
I agree totally...I've never heard her sing like this...she's outstanding.
Magnificent voice 🙏
I never knew!!! And with Tony pure honey
Che meraviglia....da brividi!!
Totalmente de acuerdo 😍

Because of her many talents we forget that QL was always a great singer, with a wonderful voice. This is a nice reminder!
Barakx8 I listen all the time
I’d love it if she released an album of all Ella Fitzgerald covers. I think her sound is similar 🥰
@@dsantos10 Maybe Queen Latifah will play Ella Fitzgerald in the next Bio Pic she stars in

Wow! This is a true Gem. Queen Latifah is singing like an Angel and Tony Bennett is the perfect Duet Partner for this timeless Classic.
Who knew? She really is a formidable female crooner complimenting Tony. Wow!
He's the best😅

Much more offen is putting it lightly!!
What a beautiful voice she has! WOW
Agree...she's multi-talented...hats off to Queen...
Truly the King and Queen!
Queen Letitia's voice is nothing like Ella's but there's something about it that reminds me. I think it's the immaculate phrasing. Wonderful
Did not know Queen Latifa could nail a ballad like that. Wow.
Hey everyone, don't forget that queen Latifah was a dam good talk show host as well, a very well rounded person. Shalom Brothers and sisters.
What an honor to sing with the great Tony Bennett
