Winehouse duet released posthumously
Description
It was Amy Winehouse's final recording before she died.
Fittingly, it was with the legendary singer Tony Bennett for a duet called "Body and Soul".
Bennett was a musical hero of her jazz-loving father Mitch, who himself was one of Amy's heroes.
But on Wednesday (September 14) on what would've been Amy's 28th birthday before her untimely death in July, it was too much for him to bear.
SOUNDBITE: Mitch Winehouse, Amy's Father, saying (English):
"Well, I haven't...I can't bring myself to see it. My wife has, everyone has seen it, obviously, and they just say how wonderful it is. You know, but we've sent some time with Tony (Bennett). He invited us to his apartment."
The Amy Winehouse Foundation was launched to help young people struggling with addition.
Amy's own life was marked by her incredible success but also her dangerous relationship to drink and drugs, although a toxicology report revealed she was no longer taking substances shortly before she died.
SOUNDBITE: Mitch Winehouse, Amy's Father, saying (English):
"She was warned by our doctor three months ago. He wrote to her...she wrote to her, Dr. Christina, and she said, 'Do not detox without medical supervision. You have to be supervised.'"
Mitch also opened up about the moment he heard that his little girl had passed away.
SOUNDBITE: Mitch Winehouse, Amy's Father, saying (English):
"My mobile phone rang. It was Amy's security officer and he was crying and he told me that Amy had passed away and you know, at that moment, I didn't cry at all, I had like....a strange calm came over me. She was a normal girl in every sense. She loved her family. She and I were the best of friends. We shared everything together."
