As you all know I LOVED Amy Winehouse. I'm still wearing black and it will be at least another two months till I can switch to purple! But nearly two months after her shocking death, the final video and song recorded by the late British soul star dropped yesterday, her birthday yet, and it shows the "Rehab" singer in fine form. She looked amazing!!!
The duet with jazz icon Tony Bennett on the standard "Body and Soul" premiered at 6 a.m. on MTV, VH1, and MTV Hits and mtvU and was repeated on an hourly basis throughout the morning, after which it was available online on MTV.com. The clip opens with Bennett taking the lead as Winehouse looks on coquettishly, often seen in soft focus as the elder statesman sings, "My heart is sad and lonely/ For you I sigh, for you dear only." I'm am in awe. A very big thank- you and hip tip to handsome Howard and his lovely blog Soundtrack to my Day for sharing this with me. And now the video. It is the best thing you'll hear all day. I miss her.
so, so, sad
ReplyDeleteWhat a talent, I too miss her. I've started my day in tears after listening to and watching that performance. I'm turning it up loud and pressing the replay button again.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mistress M.
Wow! Can you just imagine what her next cd would have been like?
ReplyDeleteStill can't believe it! This is just stunning, two legends together, she will be greatly missed forever ;-)
ReplyDeleteHer beautiful talent will be missed by all! This is really a duo.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful song by two great performers, such sadness that we will not hear her voice any more.
ReplyDeleteThis was everywhere yesterday! So pleased they did this together. Fantastic, what a duet.
ReplyDeleteBreathtaking!
ReplyDeleteHello, how did I miss this?Sounds like Billie Holliday!!! Damn Amy you could sing baby girl!!
ReplyDeleteI love Tony Bennett and with Amy, this is just perfect. It doesn't get any better.
ReplyDeleteSo shame she left so early... but the two of them left us with a hell of a memory!
ReplyDeleteThat was pure bliss...cheers to both of them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great duet with these two! But honey, couldn't you have switched to purple by now???
ReplyDeleteI'm still sad she is gone but these two gave us this last gem!
ReplyDeleteAnother lengendary duet for the books! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteShe DOES look wonderful -- so nice to see her with a bit of flesh on those bones again. Terribly sad that this is her last video -- struck down just as she was finally climbing out of the abyss of addiction.
