I came here searching, after hearing her tribute song on CBS Sunday Morning .
I heard it initially from a distance, being in another room,
but found myself drawn to the TV !
And now seeing this....how difficult it must have been for her to sing the tribute.
And now going thru something myself, this song just blew me away !
I want so much to slow dance with the one I'm thinking of !
Probably never happen, but I can Dream....!!

K D Lang. I love her voice so much, but when you see her live and how she caresses every note that she so beautifully expresses…and, to put her with Tony Bennett…the music Gods were on their game!
@gloriasalgado5512
KD is an amazing singer, she needs more credit for her career. love her voice.
@meo21626
Agree!
@hollyurquizu7493
What is she doing now?
@katherined800
@@hollyurquizu7493 She has said in interviews that she doesn't feel the need to perform or record music. It's too bad for us.

Tony said she was the best song stylist he ever worked with. She is a gifted performer and it is a shame that she is not currently performing. CBS Sunday Morning News asked her to perform this song after Tony passed away. It was such a moving performance. I will share the link.

Unfortunately, they do not have the whole performance.
@patlilienthal4046
Two pure singers. They don’t rely on any tricks when they sing. They both know how to treat a song
@Jc4elayne
Like velvet! Her voice is so smooth and rich with layers of complexity. This was such a wonderful duet!
@tracygarrett3952
I was shaking my head when this performance ended and that's exactly what Tony did. Just beautiful!!!
