The legendary artist Tony Bennett released a video in memory of Amy, called ‘Body & Soul’.
The song was recorded by the two artists a few months ago, in Abbey Road studio in London. There was filmed the video too.
“Body & Soul” was the last song recorded by Amy Winehouse before she died on 23rd of July, 2011, at her home in London.
The single “Body & Soul” is included on Tony Bennett’s album, “Duets II”, released this month. The disc contains, among other things, collaborations with Lady GaGa and Michael Buble.
Amy Winehouse was born on September 14th, 1983. On July 23rd, 2011, Amy Winehouse was found dead in her home. At the autopsy, doctors have not found traces of banned substances in the artist’s body.
Released on what would have been her 28th birthday, you can now watch the full music video for Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse’s collaboration “Body & Soul”. The cover of the classic song is included on Tony’s upcoming album “Duets II”, which is out on September 20th. The video sees the music icon and the late singer in the studio performing the song. It’s very touching. This just makes my heart ache even more that a talent like Amy is gone so soon. But this also shows that her music will last forever. My hat’s off to Tony for the nice gesture of releasing this on September 14th, Amy’s birthday. The single is now available on iTunes.
The singer has apparently received some rather disconcerting news regarding her drinking habits and the fact that she really has no choice but to quit or quit on life. Amy Winehouse’s doctors apparently took her for a harsh ride in explaining this, as a source relates: ”It’s the last chance saloon for Amy. Doctors have come down hard on her because of the severity of her situation. It’s a harsh reality but she had to hear it.” Rumors say that Amy Winehouse is aware of the seriousness of her situation this time around… after all, she did check herself into the clinic. Maybe this time around Amy Winehouse will actually manage to stay away from the alcohol and learn her lesson.
Amy Winehouse and boyfriend Reg Traviss attended the opening of the new African-themed restaurant Shaka Zulu in Camden in north London last week, and as usual, the train wreck of a singer made a fool of herself. The restaurants special guest of honor, King of the Zulu Nation, monarch Goodwill Zwelithini, was in attendance to make a speech in front of 200 guests. Not only did Wino show up late and drunk, she kept interrupting the speech by making rude comments and making out with Reg in front of the king and his guests. Reg tried to keep Wino under control but after he failed, he decided to leave with her out the back door.
Amy Winehouse is about to deliver some new music. It?s just too bad that it?s not her own. The singer is starting her own record label called Lioness Records. Her official website explains ?Amy wanted to create a label where she could sign and work closely with a small roster of artists she really believed in. Lioness symbolises strength, pride and confidence, and will be a place where the artist is given the time, space and the opportunity to develop and flourish.? The first artist on her label is her goddaughter, 13-year Dionne Bromfield from London. She said ?The first time I heard Dionne sing, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing?such an amazing voice from such a young girl. I’m just so proud of her. I’m very lucky to have a record label. I’ve got all these people that I love, that are really talented ? and Dionne is my number one.?
Amy Winehouse’s dad Mitch is reportedly planning to bring out his own album following his daughter’s success.
Amy, 25, has had two successful albums and is currently working on her third album.
It is claimed that her dad Mitch now fancies trying his hand at music and producing some material.
Reports say Mitch has been working on tracks including some Frank Sinatra covers as well as some of his own tracks.
A source said: “Mitch has been working on it for a while now. Amy always credits her dad with getting her into singing. He loves music. He has a good voice and wants a go at turning pro.”
Mitch has reportedly approached his daughter’s record label Island Records about getting a deal together.
However, if that falls through, he can work with daughter Amy on her own label, Lioness.
Amy Winehouse has finally returned to the UK after an extended vacation in the Caribbean island of St. Lucia. And while she may be looking better, I can?t really say the same for the hotel she left behind. It turns out that the singer caused a reported $40,000 in damages to her hotel suite before leaving as she trashed her room into ruins. According to a source, ?There were cigarette burns in the sofa, broken beds, smashed chandeliers, cracked mirrors and all the plumbing was blocked.? Yuck! Wino needs to clean her crap up! If she doesn?t want to, she could at least pay for it.
Sooner or later, someone?s going to have a hospital wing named after Amy Winehouse as the British singer has once again visited the hospital for the third time in three months last week. The doctors of St. Lucia knew the drill so well that Wino was even released the same night that she was admitted. Wino?s friends are worried that her latest trip will mean that she is still not ready to go back to the full swing of things regarding her career. Wino is scheduled to make a comeback performance in London at the end of this month and they are saying that she might not make it.
Amy Winehouse was supposed to perform in St. Lucia last Friday but a heavy rainstorm brought the performance to a halt shortly into her set and ultimately forced Wino to postpone the gig. This was the singer?s first attempt at performing in 2009 and her rep says that she tried to continue through the rain but was forced to stop. There?s no word if she?ll reschedule. However, if her performance is anything like the one that she gave for a jazz fest this past weekend, I know that a lot of people are hoping that she just drop off the face of the earth. Wino?s performance was a train wreck! She sounded awful, stopped during the middle of the song and walked off stage!

Amy Winehouse was taken to the hospital in St. Lucia this past weekend. The singer?s spokesperson said that the reason behind the hospitalization was dehydration. Wino?s publicist said ?She fainted at home (in St Lucia) and they took her in for observation, mainly to do with her medication to check everything was OK. They told her that she was dehydrated and needed to drink more water.? Her publicist further claims that Wino was running around with a group of children before she passed out. She?s expected to perform at a jazz festival in St. Lucia later this week so I hope she feels better.
The singer thinks that the troubled Amy Winehouse is ?hardcore?. Adele said this about the singer of ?Rehab?: “I think Amy is hardcore. She is a true phenomenon. When Amy was big in America, me and Duffy were blowing up in England, and I think it made the journey over a bit smoother for us.” How can you not consider Amy Winehouse to be hardcore? She goes around messing up her marriage and then wants to fix it all again? She managed to turn her husband into a felon and other some such details. Still, Adele is right about making the journey for her and Duffy to America easier. After Amy Winehouse hit America, the standards most definitely changed.
Amy Winehouse is being advertised as one of the headliners at the annual Coachella music festival which will be held near Palm Springs, California this April. The official line up was just recently announced and Wino?s involvement was definitely nothing short of surprising. Is she even going to show up? If someone can convince herself to start working again instead of spreading her legs for every guy vacationing in St. Lucia, sure. If you?re not up to seeing Wino, the highlights of the festival include performances by Paul McCartney, The Killers, The Ting Tings, The Cure, Morrisey, Franz Ferdinand and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
If your weekend composed of weird antics with fans and paparazzi, almost passing out on the sidewalk, bizarre, filthy and potentially dangerous skin condition of unknown etymology, then congratulations, you happen to be Amy Winehouse. The Mail reports that Wino was pretty active this past weekend. First, she soaked her fans and photographers with a ?high-powered jet? from her garage and then proceeded to take the paps on a run around the streets of London. On that run, she slumped down outside a shop and swung at no one in particular where she revealed her seriously black finger. She finally arrived back home by 3:30AM with a black coat over her head and red marks on her face.
