A decade after Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga‘s first shared a microphone aboard his 2011 ‘Duets II’ album, the duo gave their last showing via the CBS concert special, ‘One Last Time.’

Aired on CBS on November 28, the live extravaganza – filmed in August across two sold-out shows at New York’s historic Radio City Music Hall – marked the 95-year-old Bennett’s farewell to performing amid a highly publicized battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

And if the ratings are anything to judge by, legions of both performers’ fans couldn’t wait to give the legendary act a proper send-off.
