This morning, the just-launched Amy Winehouse Foundation released the singer’s final recording, a duet with Tony Bennett (whom she called her musical hero) titled “Body and Soul,” which will be included in Bennett’s upcoming “Duets II” album.
Today would have been Amy’s 28th birthday. Her July 23 death remains unknown, with loved ones speculating that her detoxification, which was a long and aggressive process, could’ve ultimately ended her life.
The Amy Winehouse Foundation, established by Amy’s parents, aims to support charitable activities that provide care or assistance for young people who suffer from poor health, addiction, or financial disadvantage. All proceeds of the song’s sales will go directly to serve this mission. I can only hope it will help raise awareness about addiction, both for those suffering from it, as well as for their loved ones. Learn more.
