Premiering right here tonight (Wednesday September 14) @ 6pm, on what would have been the soul star’s 28th birthday, you’ll get the chance to check out her explosive duet with legendary jazz crooner Tony Bennett.
“We had a beautiful time recording together in the studio, and I knew that Amy was very happy with how she performed that day," said Bennett in a statement.
"I thought she was absolutely brilliant, and this recording truly captures the essence of her unique artistry. She was a rare talent.”
And recalling the moment she was asked to collaborate on the song, in behind-the-scenes footage of the recording session filmed by Dion Beebe as part of a documentary on Bennett, the ‘Rehab’ hitmaker said,
“It was really exciting that he chose that song, because I do love it. It's such a beautifully written song and it's a song you can do a lot with, so I was really excited to sing that.
"It couldn't have been better."
The track, which was recorded in March at Abbey Road Studios in London ahead of the soul singer’s tragic death in July, will see proceeds donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation.
