Tony Bennett's 75th birthday is still yielding presents. Bennett celebrated his three-quarter-century mark in August with a gala event at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. RPM Records/Columbia followed up in early November with a strong-selling birthday gift: "Playin' With My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues," an album of 15 classic blues tunes and duets with the likes of Ray Charles, Natalie Cole, Sheryl Crow, Billy Joel, Diana Krall, B.B. King, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, Kay Starr, and Stevie Wonder.
