Watch Lady Gaga’s Emotional Reaction to Tony Bennett’s Sketch of Her for ‘Love for Sale’ Album Cover
Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett’s new album “Love for Sale” has dropped!
Check out a touching video of Tony sketching Gaga for the album cover. The video was set to their rendition of Cole Porter’s song “I Concentrate on You,” which is only fitting!
Tony told Gaga, “I was thinking of doing a sketch of you for the cover — a nice, clean picture of you.”
After Tony showed Gaga the sketch, she struggled to hold back tears. She said, “It's beautiful, it's so beautiful. It makes me cry!"
On the same day that their album dropped, the pair’s music video for “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” was released.
According to Gaga, “Love for Sale” is the last album that she’ll record with Tony, who is battling Alzheimer’s. Last month, she tweeted, “Tony, this is the last album we will have created together, but the celebration of jazz, and us as musical companions, will live on with me forever. We offer the public “Love For Sale” for free love, to make them smile, because that’s what we’re here for.”
