Amy Winehouse, Tony Bennett 'Body and Soul' video released

Amy Winehouse's video with Tony Bennett performing a duet of the song "Body and Soul" has been released yesterday, September 14, 2011, in commemoration of what would have been Winehouse's 28th birthday.
 "Body and Soul" was reportedly the last recording Winehouse did before her death in July this year. Proceeds from the song will go to The Amy Winehouse Foundation "to support charitable activities in both the UK and abroad that provide help, support or care for young people, especially those who are in need by reason of ill health, disability, financial disadvantage or addiction."

British jazz and R&B singer Amy Winehouse was found dead at her residence in north London on July 23, 2011. Authorities said that the cause of her death is "as yet unexplained" and that the death was "non-suspicious."

Winehouse had received extensive publicity over her drug and alcohol problems as well as her mental health issues. Last month, her European tour was cancelled after she appeared too drunk to perform in her concert in Serbia.

Winehouse's popularity skyrocketed when she won five awards at the Grammys for her 2006 second album "Back to Black" and the hit single "Rehab".
