This is what SHOULD be dominating our radio stations.

[@sofiablakey6454]

Canada has produced so many wonderful talents, this being one more. Tony & K. D. Lang have a whole album of duets certainly one of the best. History will never forget to recognize these two being wonderful duets! ♥️♥️♥️

[@christinedavison7604]

Wow, what a voice this lady has. Would you believe that I've never heard of KD Lang until now, Iam definitely now a fan. ❤❤❤

[@grumpycanadiangrandma7990]

What!!!!, lol please search for her version of Crying at the 1990 tribute to Roy Orbison, honest to God, it will knock your socks off

[@brightstarsunshine5301]

Search for her singing "Hallelujah" it's beautiful!

[@marmeecruz6191]

Better late than never!😚

[@lesliecurran1704]

@@brightstarsunshine5301 I like her version better than anyone else's, it's amazing and heartfelt.

[@Darilynn714]

Being a Canadian Vegan Lesbian, country stations in the US never played her. But she has worked with Roy Orbison, Loretta Lynn and more. She sang a song called “Shadowland” that was written for Patsy Cline, and produced with Patsy’s team. She is a treasure

[@bobwaller1649]

K d lang is a treasure and with Tony’s passing today she must be drinking a toast to the ability to have collaborated with him. The power of music transcends genres and biases God bless that power tonight 👍❤️🙏

[@davemort6155]

She is very much alive and only 59. You may be thinking of KT Oslin (RIP). Regardless KD Lang is the gold standard of all female singers!❤

[@michellebobier4471]

RIP, Tony Bennett -- crying as I listen to this. Slo beautiful -- and perfect for two of the most velvety voices ever.

Their voices belong together. I know this will be an unpopular opinion, better than Lady Gaga. Sorry.

What a Masterpiece! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@RollingEasy]

The very first time I heard this I was timber cutting in the most magnificent bushlands. Was a beautiful cool but sunny day. Still. Peaceful. It came on the radio and I just stopped everything in silence to listen. When it finished, I burst into tears at the overload of beauty around me coupled with the beauty of the music just played. It was a moment in heaven and that's the only way I can put it.

[@nettesuga]

Aaawww that's beautiful! As is this amazing collaboration!

[@RollingEasy]

The absolute beauty of the day and of my location. The complete solitude. And then I hear this song beginning just as I stop what I'm doing and within a couple of seconds I'm totally immersed in so much sensual beauty. God gave me the day and Tony and KD gave me the music and the impact just knocked my sox off. Very rare that's ever happened to me before or since. It was the most wonderful moment of 'overload' I've ever known any my tears were of pure joy.

OK, what happened to k.d. lang? A truly great singer. She was Tony’s favorite about this time. Haven’t heard her name in quite a while. Looked it up. In 2004, k.d. and Tony shared the Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. This was their first win after 3 other nominations starting in 1995. In 2019, she said, "I'm not feeling any particular urge to make music right now. The muse is eluding me. I am completely at peace with the fact that I may be done." She turned 60 yrs old earlier this month (Nov, 2021).

[@AngryOBrien]

Her talent transcends the need to be in line with contemporary definitions of what is fashionable. It's sad that your vanity and pretentious perceptions have distracted you from truly appreciating the magic happening here.

[@michaelangel8133]

Wish jdlang was singing with lady Gaga at Tony Bennett last concert

[@christinewhite6993]

She was his best collaborator in later years. KD "got" Tony, in that she was in tune with him. Others were very sweet, poignant and sometimes tragic, but KD was the best imho.

[@coco_bunni]

Her performance at 2010 Vancouver Olympics was breathtaking.

[@TheMichaelDStorey]

Hers was Tony's favorite voice.

[@carlosramonlorenzolaureta5965]

I like how KD smiles after Tony sings the first lines. It's like she was saying, "That is tasty. Get ready bec i'm gonna knock you off your feet." This is truly a gorgeous cover. Easily one of the top 3 duets Tony performed, one that gives me goosebumps always. You will be missed Tony.

[@roseannehutchence5004]

If you ever get a chance to see her in concert, Carlos, please don't hesitate. Her face lights up when she sings (and she's fairly hilarious when interacting with the audience).

[@RMichaelSato]

THE MOST underrated female singer💕

[@Dot-d7m]

Agree

[@PhyllisFicarrotta-yg1om]

I think we don’t hear much from K.D. Lang is that she doesn’t “politic”. She knows she’s talented but she doesn’t have the patience for the industry’s bullshit. I admire her so much. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gift with us. We are blessed.

[@pamelavanderlaan192]

She tones herself down not to overpower the older voice. Artistry and grace.

[@paulaoh5306]

Two kind and pure hearted souls with iconic voices. The world will be a little less beautiful without you, Tony.

I had the privilege to see Tony and KD at radio city music hall - they did the most amazing thing to show the acoustics of radio city - they killed the mics and asked for everyone’s silence and sang - one of the most beautiful experiences ever! The best concert of these two talented souls!!! A great combination!

[@Mr.Mitch1111]

Tony Bennet's voice may have changed and not be as strong as it once was, but he knows how to use what he has. That is why he is one of the greatest singers of all time. The pathos he gives to this song is absolutely heartbreaking.

[@trevm1268]

It doesn't get much better than this. Two class acts in perfect harmony. Pure joy from start to finish.
