Making of the album
Michael Bublé's career breakthrough came when he sang Kurt Weill's "Mack the Knife" at the wedding of Brian Mulroney's daughter Caroline in 2000. Mulroney introduced Bublé to David Foster, a multi-Grammy awarding producer and a Warner Brothers record executive who had worked with Josh Groban previously. Foster signed Bublé to his '143' record label and he started recording a self-titled album 2001 with Foster as producer.
The album features a range of standards from various eras including "Fever", "The Way You Look Tonight", "For Once In My Life", Van Morrison's "Moondance" and Lou Rawls' "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine". Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees sang back up vocals on Bublé's version of the groups "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart".
