Elliot Yamin and Tony Bennett Duets

Well, After the response for Elliot, I reckon what I really would like to hear is a Tony Bennett/Elliot Yamin singing together.
Loads of great songs spring to mind both modern and some of "The Maestro's" classics.
How about this for a selection; Who can I turn to when nobody needs me. Maybe this time. Don't get around much anymore. Fasinatin' rhythm. Maybe September. The Gentle rain. Lost in the stars.( Tony dedicated this song to me in Birmingham England on his "Art of excellence" tour about 20 years ago, a cappella and without microphone), Live for life. Rags to riches. Without a song. Old Devil moon. Yesterday I heard the rain and of course what more appropriate than, The best is yet to come.
Elliot I have loads of time to listen. Tony thank you so much for all the joy and love you put into both my life and the inspiration for my musical interpretations. You are still the top and I know you will inspire Elliot, if you haven't already.
"Elliot sings Bennett" with Elliot's own style and interpretation. Or how about this one: Tony Bennett sings the music of Elliot Yamin? Cant wait. Just do it.
Break a leg brother.
PS I guess it's too much to wish for, Elliot sings "The shadow of your smile" dueting with me Ray Leigh

Elliot Yamin

Well, a liitle be-lated but I have just been listening to arguably the finest modern singer for a long long time-The fabulous Elliot Yamin. Without any doubts, as far as I am concerned this wonderfully human interpreter of lyric and harmony will be the Tony Bennett of the future.
Only Bennett and possibly Sinatra ever gave music so much passion and feel into their timing, and phrasing.

No hystronics just gets up and moves his audience like no other.

I'm guessing, but he seems to live and feel music. Putting all of his obvious love into it. Many thanks Elliot you have put back my faith into modern music interpretation.

I have spent my whole life as a singer all over the World and have rarely heard such talent. Great phrasers are in short supply I spend hours listening to Tony Bennett Nina Simone, Streisand et al, believe me Elliot Yamin is well on the way to being amongst them as an icon to great music.

Like Bennett he has what is missing from music these days -Humility. I for one will be amongst the first to buy his music. The originals.
