THIS IS HEAVY
A little heartbreaking but a must watch nonethless. It’s an excerpt of Amy Winehouse’s collaborative effort with Tony Bennett on the song, “Body & Soul,” which they recorded in March of this year. In a short interview included in the video, Amy chats about her father, “Mitchell,” and how excited he was to hear they would be doing that particular song. It’s known that her father sung Frank Sinatra songs to her as a child and this video makes it clear that other jazz singers were in his lullaby repertoire as well. She explains:
“Well my dad sort of in the meantime would be singing ‘Body & Soul.’ My dad, personally, himself, he was like, ’Oh. It’s only my favorite song in the world you’re going to sing. Oh my god,’ he goes, ‘You even know it!’ And I was like, of course I know it, Mitchell, I’m your daughter. Of course I know it. And it was really exciting that he chose that song. Because I do love it. It’s such a beautiful written song and it’s a song you can do a lot with.”

Amy Winehouse looked so good in this video. It’s really sad that she lost her battle with addiction while trying to get clean. As sad as her death is, I hope people can learn from it and not take life for granted.
I think her father would be proud to hear her speak so highly of him.
Love when she says “Of course I know it Mitchell. I’m your daughter” in that British accent of hers.
