Carrie Underwood just did "CMT's Crossroads" with Aerosmith front man and "American Idol" judge Steven Tyler, but it was announced today she's already lined up another legendary live duet -- this time with Tony Bennett, with whom she'll perform at the 2012 Grammys Feb. 12. Underwood paired up with Bennett to record "It Had to be You" on his Duets II album, which is up for a Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. She's also nominated for Best Country Solo Performance for her "Mama's Song."
Sony Music Entertainment also announced today they will release "Tony Bennett Duets II: The Great Performances on DVD" on March 6th which reveals the behind the scenes process of the recording the singer's critically-acclaimed CD Duets II. The album has been nominated for three Grammy Awards, and made music history when it debuted at the top of the Billboard Album charts, making Bennett the oldest vocal artist ever to achieve the number one spot.
The DVD also features footage of a concert honoring Bennett at the CD release, held on his 85th birthday. Performances include Underwood, Willie Nelson, k.d. lang, Faith Hill, Sheryl Crow and more, as well as special bonus content of video birthday wishes for the legendary crooner.
