On what would have been her 28th birthday... Amy's final recording Body and Soul is released as The Amy Winehouse Foundation launches

Today would have been her 28th birthday but instead it serves as the date that Amy Winehouse’s final recording is released.
The single entitled Body and Soul was recorded by the Back To Black singer with Tony Bennett and it comes off his latest album Duets II.
The video, which can be seen below, sees the pair perform together behind a piano and Amy looks the picture of health as she belts out the notes to the tune.

Amy is seen smiling playing with her hair and laughing with the corner in between the singing session.
It serves as a tribute to the singer but also a reminder of her great talent and the huge loss not only  to her family but also to the music industry.
All proceeds of the single will go to the Amy Winehouse foundation which also launches today.

Mitch speaks about coming to terms with her untimely death as well as detailing how he blames Blake Fielder-Civil for introducing her to drugs.
He said: 'I was sickened and I did everything in my power to stop the relationship. But she loved Blake.'
Mitch also recalled one incident where he had told Fielder-Civil, who he claims started Amy on cocaine and heroin, 'Leave my daughter alone, you're killing my daughter'.

Toxicology results from an autopsy released by the family late last month showed no illegal substances and some alcohol, were found in her body, although it is not clear if the alcohol played contributed to her death.
