NEW YORK, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga thrilled over 700 NYC high school students at Frank Sinatra School of the Arts on the last day of school by making a surprise appearance on site today. Frank Sinatra School of the Arts (FSSA) was founded by Tony Bennett in his hometown of Astoria, Queens and Bennett usually attends graduation but this year due to his tour schedule he is unable to join. Instead, he decided to do something special for the last day of classes, so he asked his good friend Lady Gaga to join him for a master class in the school's Tony Bennett Concert Hall.
Moderated by NBC's Lester Holt, Gaga and Bennett conversed on stage about a variety of subjects including jazz music, The Great American Songbook, creativity and also fielded questions from the students. Then Tony Bennett performed the classic "The Very Thought of You" followed by Lady Gaga's wonderful version of "Every Time We Say Goodbye." In a spontaneous and playful moment, the two began to serenade each other with the standard "I Can't Give You Anything But Love." Gaga then added in a cheek to cheek slow dance. Several musicians have done master classes at FSSA including Billy Joel and Paul McCartney.
