About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Following the multi-platinum success of Duets, Capitol Records assembled Duets II, a sequel that followed the blueprint of its predecessor to the letter. Assembled from leftover tracks from the first album, Duets II is a somewhat more consistent album than the original. Lacking the superstar names of the first (Tony Bennett, Julio Iglesias, Kenny G, Barbra Streisand, Bono, Aretha Franklin), the artist roster on the sequel generally consists of either faded stars (Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson, Gladys Knight) or mid-level singers (Luis Miguel, Lorrie Morgan) who are popular within their genre, but fail to command the attention of the general public. However, there are standouts like Lena Horne and Antonio Carlos Jobim who help lift Duets II to a higher level than Duets. But that's a minor distinction, actually. The nature of the electronic duet prohibits the album from having any sort of emotional resonance, even on tracks that feature strong vocals by Sinatra or his partner. It might be nice to hear Horne and Sinatra together on "Embraceable You," but the song doesn't rise above anything more than a technical marvel. The real tragedy is, their performance hints that the album could have been so much more. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

June 11, 2008: I originally bought it for the Luis Miguel duet with Frank Sinatra but I end up liking all the other artists as well, since I love Jazz an also I'm a big Sinatra fan. I will say however about the Luis Miguel duet...he holds back! and yes he's probably the best singer in the world, but he holds back a lot. His people are very conservative, that's why going to his concert is great because you realize that no one really comes close to him...seriously he's that good. I wish he would get over his fears and sing in English for once, maybe a compilations of his hits including "amarte es un placer" the song. (google it, and listen to it, is great)

October 29, 2007: Frank was seventy-nine years old when he recorded this. His voice wasn't good because of his age and years of smoking. The recordings of Sinatra in the 1950's and 1960's are the best. A young Sinatra is my favorite singer. The people he is singing with aren't really all that good either.
