His current single "Go Gentle" is just lovely, and the Jungle Book favourite is so well done, with Olly Murs. You can see it in the video below.
Michael Bublé, Lily Allen, Rufus Wainwright and Kelly Clarkson also lend a hand, which show what pulling power our Robbie has, when it comes to putting an album together.
None of the tracks are duds. He works each one, reflecting their mood with a charisma and charm, and the richness they deserve. I particularly like "Little Green Apples" with Kelly Clarkson, and "Soda Pop" with Michael Bublé. "Minnie The Moocher" and "Puttin' On The Ritz" don't disappoint.
This album became the 1000th Number One album in the UK, last weekend, and whilst it is unlikely to remain there (due to a certain One Direction launching their 3rd album), it is no surprise it came straight into the top of the chart.
Over the years, he has entertained, surprised and delighted fans, all over the world, and this (along with Swing When You're Winning) in my humble opinion, are his best work.
This video is taken from The Graham Norton Show, on BBC1, on November 22nd. It is a pure demonstration of his, and Olly's, showmanship. I guarantee you'll be smiling all the way...
