LONDON — Amy Winehouse’s final recording, a duet with Tony Bennett, will be released as a charity single for a foundation set up in her name, her family said Thursday.
“Body and Soul” will go on sale in September, with proceeds going to the newly established Amy Winehouse Foundation. The two singers recorded the old standard in March at London’s Abbey Road Studios for Bennett’s forthcoming “Duets II” album.
Winehouse, who had struggled for years with drug and alcohol addiction, was found dead at her London home July 23. She was 27.
Her father, Mitch Winehouse, said releasing the song for charity was “the most fitting tribute of all” to his daughter. He said the foundation would fund a range of charities for young people.
