The dean of American pop vocalists took a different and exciting fork in the road for his third
Duets album, recruiting the best Latin vocalists in the world, and rejuvenating classic material like "The Best Is Yet to Come" (featuring
Chayanne), "For Once in My Life" (featuring
Marc Anthony), "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)" (featuring
Gloria Estefan), "The Way You Look Tonight" (featuring
Thalía), and "Return to Me" (featuring ranchera legend
Vicente Fernández). Most of the charts are big band -- one of the exceptions being the highlight, his duet with
Fernández -- but crossover fans will note that
Bennett's English gives way to his duet partners' Spanish, an intriguing and successful choice. ~ John Bush
