Barry Manilow, My Dream Duets (Verve) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

When Verve Records asked the newly-signed veteran entertainer to record a duets album, Manilow responded with a hearty "Yes!" - but only if he could record with his dearly departed favorite artists.  And so we have this collection on which Manilow has composed new duet arrangements for classic vocalists including Whitney Houston ("I Believe in You and Me"), Cass Elliot ("Dream a Little Dream of Me"), Andy Williams ("Moon River") and Sammy Davis, Jr. ("The Candy Man") plus some off-the-beaten-path choices like Jimmy Durante ("The Song's Gotta Come from the Heart") and Marilyn Monroe ("I Wanna Be Loved by You")!

Dionne Warwick, Feels So Good (Caroline) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)

The pop legend returns with her latest studio album.  Produced by her son Damon Elliott, it's heavy on "modernized," new duet covers of Bacharach/David classics ("A House is Not a Home" with Ne-Yo, "You'll Never Get to Heaven" with Ruben Studdard, "This Girl's in Love with You" with Phil Driscoll) plus a couple of recycled tracks ("Message to Michael" with Cyndi Lauper and "I'll Never Love This Way Again" with Gladys Knight) and some new songs including the title track featuring Cee-Lo Green.

Jerry Lee Lewis

Jerry Lee Lewis, Rock and Roll Time (Vanguard) (Amazon U.S. / Amazon U.K.)
