It was Danny who helped bring his dad’s music to a younger generation, through appearances on Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons and Late Night with Conan O’Brian – and the series of Duets albums, which feature Tony Bennett singing with the likes of Lady Gaga, Billy Joel, Barbara Streisand and Amy Winehouse.  Duets II debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart.  Tony Bennett was 85 years old, the oldest living artist to debut at #1. 

Last year Danny produced a film called The Zen of Bennett, which followed his dad throughout the recording of the Duets II album.
