Amy Winehouse and Tony Bennett Duet to Benefit Charity

Amy Winehouse and Tony Bennett

A duet between jazz legend Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse is to be released as a charity single. The late singer’s father said Thursday her daughter’s final recording  “Body and Soul” — a duet with Tony Bennett — will go to the newly established Amy Winehouse Foundation. It will be released ahead of Bennett’s Duets II album, out on 20 September.

Mitch Winehouse says releasing it in September as a charity single was “the most fitting tribute of all” to his daughter. In a statement, Mitch Winehouse said he “couldn’t be happier”. He added: “Amy was so excited to be working with Tony Bennett and really looking forward to her fans hearing this new recording. The fact that Amy’s voice is sounding as amazing and beautiful as ever and she is singing with the great Tony Bennett seems the most fitting tribute of all at this very difficult time.”

The two singers recorded the single at London’s Abbey Road Studios for Bennett’s forthcoming “Duets II” album. It was one of Winehouse’s last recordings prior to her death on 23 July.

The foundation is set to fund a range of projects focussing on young people. The family also hopes to establish a drug rehab center for addicted youths.

    It’s the little tweaks that create the most dramatic changes.

    I see young Peaches Geldof, changing tack a little here, has lost a remarkable amount of weight just lately. No-one appears concerned about this but I find myself wondering, given her family history of perhaps over-exuberant behaviour, whether this likeable young lady is as healthy as she might be. I do hope she is.
