Video: Amy Winehouse & Tony Bennett ‘Body & Soul”

We showed the preview of the “Body & Soul” video last week and here now is the full video, released today on Amy Winehouse’s birthday. A little back story on the session acccording to Tony Bennett (via Billboard), who said Winehouse was his favorite to perform with on an upcoming album of duets, scheduled for a September 20th launch date.

“I think [the video for the track] will surprise everybody as to how well we ended up getting along,”  said Bennett, who recorded with Winehouse at EMI’s Abbey Road studios in London. “She was a little apprehensive about how to go about [the song], and I said to her, ‘I may be wrong, but it sounds like you’re influenced by Dinah Washington,’ and that just blew her mind. She just said, ‘Oh my God, you mean you can actually hear that? She’s my idol!’ And that relaxed her, and that’s the record we ended up making.”

Happy birthday, babygirl.
