Mitch Winehouse calls Tony Bennett's duet with Amy a "fitting tribute"

Mitch Winehouse has opened up about his excitement at Tony Bennett's plan to sell his duet with Amy independently of his album 'Duets II' to raise money for a charity in her name

The Amy Winehouse Foundation will receive money from the sale of their recent collaboration, 'Body and Soul', and Mitch has called Bennett's gesture of releasing it for the cause a "fitting tribute":

"I couldn't be happier that everyone involved with Amy and this recording felt they wanted to contribute. Amy was so excited to be working with Tony and really looking forward to her fans hearing the song."

"The fact that Amy's voice sounds as amazing and beautiful as ever and she is singing with the great Tony Bennett seems the most fitting tribute of all at this very difficult time."
