I will miss singing with him, recording with him, talking with him, being on stage together.” She also added, “With Tony, I got to live my life in a time warp. Tony & I had this magical power.

Even when being of 88 years, he, unlike most singers, kept on working, and it was the year 2014 when he first collaborated with Lady Gaga. His “Cheek to Cheek” broke his own record of being the Oldest Living Performer by being the #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. This was his debut project with Lady Gaga, where they worked together.
