Tony Bennett will donate proceeds of Amy Winehouse duet to the Amy Winehouse Foundation

Tony Bennett has revealed that his duet with Amy Winehouse, 'Body And Soul', will be released independently of his forthcoming album to raise money for the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

The singer is set to unveil his 'Duets II' record on September 19 and features a collaboration with the recently deceased Camden star, which will be made available for purchase before the official release date and proceeds will be donated.

Bennett explained to NBC's Today, "what's going to happen is that we will put that [song] out ahead of the album. Her father started [a foundation] to teach young children not to take drugs. All the royalties from the record will go to that."

"That was the last record she made. It was great, she sang beautifully."
