Rod Stewart & Michael Bublé Thrill Fans With Scorching Hot Performance Of Timeless Classic

Mar 22, 2023

The world got to see what happens when two of the most famous singers in history take the stage together for a special performance that left everyone in the audience swooning. The two stars in question are Michael Bublé and Rod Stewart, who together have been charming generations with their smooth voices and personal charm.

While their styles may be different, the result is just fantastic when the two are performing together and can knock the socks off of almost any crowd that they come across. It's not their first time performing together, and hopefully won't be their last, but the 2011 video of the two singing the classic “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” – made popular by Fred Astaire in the 1937 film “Shall We Dance” – is certainly something undeniably special!

While Stewart has been stealing hearts for generations, his charisma is still just as strong now at 78 as ever, and he ranks right up there with Bublé when it comes to being swoon-worthy. His raspy voice and infamous haircut have not changed since he first began rising to fame back in the 1970s, and we hope he stays the same forever!

While the younger generations may not remember him, that does not stop him from being a certified rock star. The father of eight is known by many for his hits and his eclectic and unique stage presence.

Meanwhile, pop star Bublé is known for being able to make his fans smile while melting their hearts, and this performance was no exception. In addition to Astaire, another famous crooner, Frank Sinatra, also performed this hit during his career and Old Blue Eyes would probably be just as proud of the pair for their duet.

Stewart has left an indelible mark in the hearts and minds of millions of people worldwide, continuing to make an impact in the lives of many up until today through his music. Stewart is among the best-selling music artists of all time. He started his career in 1962, joining Jimmy Powell and The Five Dimensions as the band's harmonica player and vocalist. Apart from joining different groups throughout his musical career, Stewart also established himself as a soloist. To date, he has released a total of 32 studio albums, and seven of those reached No. 1 on the UK album charts.

He is most known for his hits like “Sailing,” “Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright),” and “You're in My Heart (The Final Acclaim),” among many other chart-toppers that eventually became classic hits.

Stewart was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and a CBE in the 2007 New Year Honours. Eventually, he was appointed Knight Bachelor during the 2016 Birthday Honours. For all his achievements over his six-decade career, Stewart’s worth now stands at $300 million.

The rockstar has eight children from five different women and has tied the knot three times. He is currently married to Penny Lancaster, and they share two children, aged 17 and 12, together.

However, after turning 78 in 2023, Stewart revealed he’s looking to cut back on touring as it keeps him away from his beloved family and kids far too much. While it’s sad to hear we’ll probably be seeing less of him on stage, at least there are numerous performances we can still enjoy from the comfort of our home, such as his duet with Bublé.

It’s no secret Bublé is incredibly talented. The 47-year-old Canadian crooner has sold more than 40 million records globally and has won various awards, including four Grammys. Artists he has collaborated with include Shania Twain, Dolly Parton, Idina Menzel, Boyz II Men and Blake Shelton. 

Bublé was born on Sept. 9, 1975, in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. His artistic talents bloomed early, with his mother telling Oprah that he had told her at a mere 2 years old “he was going to be famous.” In the years that followed, Bublé would continue listening to his grandfather’s jazz records and honing his skills until he began taking the stage at 16 in local nightclubs.

In February 2003, Bublé released his self-titled debut album to wide praise, making the top 10 in countries such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. His career would go from strength to strength, with appearances on television, DVDs of his live shows and collaborations with top bands and singers. His second album “It’s Time” in 2005 would see even more commercial success and make Bublé a household name and talk show staple.

Now with 11 studio albums under his belt, Bublé shows no signs of slowing down, having just released “Higher,” which lists Beatles alum Paul McCartney as a producer, in March 2022. 

The singer took a hiatus from his career in 2016 after his son, Noah, was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma, a form of liver cancer, at the tender age of 3. Noah has since made a full recovery, and Bublé has returned to his passion for singing.

Bublé and Stewart's duet of the classic song “They Can’t Take That Away From Me” is a breathtaking musical collaboration that showcases the timeless beauty and elegance of this beloved tune. The song was originally composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by his brother, Ira Gershwin, and has been performed by countless artists over the years, but Bublé and Stewart's rendition truly stands out. The clip has garnered upwards of 2.3 million views to prove it!

The duet begins with a gentle piano intro, which is quickly joined by the smooth and rich voices of Stewart before Bublé joined in. The two singers seamlessly traded verses, each bringing their unique vocal stylings to the song. Bublé's silky voice added a modern touch to the classic tune, while Stewart's signature raspiness gave it a touch of nostalgia and authenticity.

Throughout the song, the two singers harmonized beautifully, their voices blending together in perfect harmony. The lyrics of the song, which describe the enduring love between two people, are made even more poignant by the emotive delivery of the two performers. Their voices conveyed the emotion and sentiment of the lyrics perfectly, making the song feel both timeless and relevant.

As the song reached its climax, the two singers trade soaring vocal runs and impressive ad-libs, showing off their impressive vocal range and control. The duet concludes with a beautiful piano outro, leaving the listener with a sense of joy and nostalgia.

The duet was a stunning display of two of the greatest voices in modern music coming together to create something truly beautiful. It's a performance that will continue to captivate and delight listeners for generations to come.
