Duets II is an album by American singer Frank Sinatra, released in 1994.
It follows the same formula as the previous year's Duets, with Phil Ramone again producing and guest artists from various genres again contributing their duet parts to Sinatra's already recorded vocals. Though not as commercially successful as Duets, it still rose to #9 on the Billboard albums chart and sold over 1 million copies in the U.S. It also peaked at #29 in the UK.
Critical notices were again mixed at best, although some viewed it as an improvement over its predecessor. However, the album won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.
These would be the last studio recordings made by Sinatra.
In 2005, both "Duets" albums were packaged together in a "90th Birthday Limited Collector's Edition" that included an unreleased duet recording of "My Way" with Luciano Pavarotti.
