Tony Bennett Vows To Donate Amy Winehouse Duet Proceeds To Charity

Tony Bennett has vowed to donate the proceeds from his duet with Amy Winehouse to charity.

The pair's cover of 'Body And Soul' is taken from his forthcoming album  'Duets II' and marks the late singer's last studio recording.

It will be released ahead of the album on September 20.

Appearing on NBC's The Today Show, Bennett, who turns 85 today (August 3), said money from the single will go to the foundation Winehouse's father is planning to establish in her name.

“What's going to happen is that we're putting that out ahead of the album,” Bennett said.

"And it's going to a foundation that her father started to teach all the young children not to take drugs, and all the royalties of the record will go to that."

'Duets II' also includes vocal contributions from Lady Gaga, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey and Michael Buble.

Meanwhile, Lady Gaga has delivered a birthday tribute to Tony Bennett – and you can watch it on Gigwise now.
