The legendary crooner will team up with the likes of STING, BONO, SIR ELTON JOHN, STEVIE WONDER, the DIXIE CHICKS and BARBRA STREISAND on DUETS - AN AMERICAN CLASSIC.

The album, which features Bennett standards like I LEFT MY HEART IN SAN FRANCISCO and THE GOOD LIFE, as well as hits like BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS and FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE, will be released to coincide with the singer's landmark birthday in September (06).

Bennett says, "I'm just so thrilled that all these contemporary artists want to sing with me."
