(BBC News) -- Sir Paul McCartney is one of several stars who will duet with Tony Bennett to mark the singer's 80th birthday.
Sir Elton John, Bono, George Michael, Sting, Mary J Blige, Barbra Streisand and John Legend will also appear on an album celebrating the star's big day.
The crooner, whose hits include I Left My Heart in San Francisco, first hit the charts in the 50s and won a Grammy last month for his latest album.
Bennett turns 80 in August and the album will be released in September.
The singer recently signed a deal with record company Sony BMG, which described him as "one of the most legendary performers of all time".
Bennett is currently on a tour of the US, which takes in Florida, California, New Jersey and Texas.
