Because of You (duet) - Tony Bennett & k.d. lang - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Because of You" is a famous and timeless popular music standard, written by Arthur Hammerstein and Dudley Wilkinson in 1940. While initially performed by Larry Clinton and His Orchestra, the song would go on to be closely associated with American crooner Tony Bennett, who recorded it in 1951 and scored his first major hit. Tony Bennett's soulful version sat at the top of the Billboard charts for a ten-week tenure. With Percy Faith's orchestral arrangement complementing Tony Bennett's voice, the song became an instant classic. In 2006, as part of Tony Bennett's 80th-birthday commemorative album Duets: An American Classic, "Because of You" was reimagined as a heartfelt duet with Canadian singer k.d. lang. This album, distinct for its live recording approach with collaborators, showcased Tony Bennett's commitment to authenticity and celebrated his indelible mark on the Great American Songbook. Duets: An American Classic debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and earned a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2007.
