Amy Winehouse may have shuffled off this mortal coil, but she lives on through this suet with Tony Bennett. The pair recorded the jazz standard “Body and Soul” before she died, and as this snippet shows the results are pretty spectacular.
With so much mystery surrounding her death and controversy about how she lived her life, it’s refreshing to go back to the music that was at the heart of her journey. Here we see her in perhaps the best shape of her career, passionate about the project and singing like a dream.
The song, which comes from Tony Bennett’s forthcoming Duets II album, will get a digital release on Winehouse’s birthday September 14. All proceeds will benefit The Amy Winehouse Foundation, a charity which provides support for young people addicted to drugs and alcohol.
