Tony Bennett Amy Winehouse Duet Proceeds Will Benefit Charity
On Tony Bennett’s 80th birthday, he released the album Duets. On Sept. 20th, in honor of his 85th, the legendary crooner will release Duets II, a follow-up album featuring even more collaborations with contemporary artists — leading the charge are K.D. Lang, Michael Bublé, Lady Gaga, and the late Amy Winehouse.
Winehouse, who had struggled for years with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead in her London home on the afternoon of July 23. The cause of her death has not yet been determined. Before her death, the 27-year-old Grammy winner and Bennett recorded their duet for Tony’s new disc at London’s Abbey Road Studios. It was to be Winehouse’s final recording, and her family says the song’ll be released as a charity single next month.
