Video - Amy Winehouse Duet with Tony Bennett Released on Her 28th Birthday

On what would have been her 28th birthday, a duet between Amy Winehouse and Tony Bennett was released to commemorate her death.

For anybody who ever doubted that Winehouse was a genuine singer and songwriter, this song will prove that Amy was the real deal.

The song called "Body and Soul” was recorded in March 2011, just four months before she died, with Bennett at Abby Road Studios in Liverpool – the same studio the Beatles used.

All proceeds from the sale of the track will go to the Amy Winehouse Foundation. The charity has one simple goal:

“The Amy Winehouse Foundation was set up in Amy’s memory to support charitable activities in both the UK and abroad that provide help, support or care for young people, especially those who are in need by reason of ill health, disability, financial disadvantage or addiction.”

To make a donation to the foundation you can visit her website at AmyWinehouseFoundation.

Amy’s father Mitch told CNN that his memories of her obviously will never fade,

“She's my daughter. But the love that she had for her family and her friends...and her generosity, that's what I'll remember most."

Bennett has also commented on Amy’s singing and career saying,

"We had a beautiful time recording together in the studio, and I knew that Amy was very happy with how she performed that day. I thought she was absolutely brilliant, and this recording truly captures the essence of her unique artistry. She was a rare talent."

The duet is being sold as a single on iTunes and will also be featured on Bennett’s new album "Duets II" due in stores September 20th in celebration of his 85th birthday.

Fred Perry by Amy Winehouse

After the death of talented singer Amy Winehouse, many have wondered what will be with the announced collaboration of this fashion house and tragic diva, which began in October last year.



Specifically, Fred Perry recognized an icon of a unique style in Amy that always had a pronounced 'retro' element, and Amy breathed a breath of her own peculiar style of Fred Perry collection autumn/winter 2011/12, which bears her name.





Representatives of the fashion houses have consulted with the family of Amy Winehouse, who gave their blessing so that prepared collection will see the light of day. "Amy has enjoyed working and certainly would like that her work is available to all her fans and admirers of her style." Said her father.

All profit raised through the sale of items from this collection will be directly routed to Amy Winehouse for a fund to help children and youth, among other things, to help against addiction.

The collection is made up of only three colors - black, white and black. A minimalist approach powerfully evokes the style of the 50s.

Eerie – All These Musicians Died When They Were 27 – “Forever 27” Artist List

In light of the sudden death of singer Amy Winehouse today, we came across this creepy phenomenon called “27 Club” or “Forever 27”.

Some people just refer to them as “The 27’s”

What is it and who are they?

It is a list of famous artists and musicians that all died when they were 27-years-old.

Some call it a coincidence, others may call it divine, but it is mostly just sad that we have lost so many talented people at age twenty seven.

Jimi Hendrix – Drugs
Janis Joplin – Heroin Overdose
Jim Morrison – Drug Overdose
Amy Winehouse – Unknown at this time
Kurt Kobain – Suicide

Biographer Charles R. Cross says,

"The number of musicians who died at 27 is truly remarkable by any standard. While humans die regularly at all ages, there is a statistical spike for musicians who die at 27".

There is even a book “The 27s: The Greatest Myth of Rock & Roll” by Eric Segalstad and Josh Hunter that discusses the life of not only the above artists, but 30 other musicians that died when they were 27.

Coincidence?



Other notable names are Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan of the Grateful Dead, Pete Ham of Badfinger, Gary Thain of Uriah Heep, D. Boon of the Minutemen, Pete de Freitas of Echo & the Bunnymen, and Rudy Lewis of The Drifters.

And the list goes on…….

Truth can be stranger than fiction some times.

Remember kids – stay in school and don’t do drugs.

And finally, watch your back Lady Gaga.

Dead - Amy Winehouse Found Dead in Her London Apartment

There is some sad news in the world of alternative music today.

Twenty-seven year-old singer Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London apartment Saturday afternoon.

London police were called shortly after 4:00 PM and asked to assist a female who turned out to be Winehouse.

When police arrived they found the singer dead.

Witnesses told reporters that they suspect drugs and alcohol was the cause of death.

Police have not commented on a possible overdose.

Winehouse had cancelled the remainder of her European tour last month after appearing intoxicated on stage in Serbia Belgrade and was heckled by the audience.

In 2007 the singer married musician Blake Fielder-Civil, but the couple had an increasingly violent relationship. Blake was sent to prison in 2008 on charges of obstruction of justice and they divorced in 2009.

Mitch Winehouse, her father, has not commented on her death but is currently travelling to London from New York.

R.I.P and God speed Amy.

You’re in the arms of the Angels now – may you find some comfort there.

Video - Amy Winehouse Stumbles Through Show – Cancels Remaining Concert Dates and Enters Rehab

Here we go again. Poor Amy Winehouse.

It seems the troubled rock star singer is back on drugs.

Last week in Serbia Belgrade she tried to perform on stage but was so wasted that the crowd booed and heckled her.

A fellow band mate had to remind her what song she was singing and ultimately had to sing it for her as a spaced out Winehouse looked around in confusion.

The video below shows a stumbling Winehouse stopping, and then restarting her show and arguing with her band.



Embarrassing to say the least.

You can tell she is wasted and can’t understand a single word she is mumbling.

By the way, Amy’s handlers are trying to get all the Belgrade videos removed from the internet so there is a chance the above clip will become unavailable.

Earlier this month her reps say Amy checked into rehab at the Priory Clinic but checked out after staying only seven days. You know, the “Charlie Sheen” rehab method.

After news of her disastrous drug fueled performance in Belgrade got out, her team quickly pulled the plug on two of her upcoming European shows saying,

“Amy Winehouse has canceled appearances in Istanbul and Athens for the coming week. Despite feeling sure that she wanted to fulfill these commitments, she has agreed with management that she cannot perform to the best of her ability and will return home. She would like to apologize to fans expecting to see her at the shows but feels that this is the right thing to do.”

After returning home the news got even worse.

Apparently her “Management Team” felt the singer was unfit to perform any more and cancelled the 11 remaining shows of her European tour saying,

“Amy is withdrawing from all scheduled performances while she focuses on recovering. Everyone involved wishes to do everything they can to help her return to her best and she will be given as long as it takes for this to happen,"

While no reason was given for the cancellations, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out why.

After all, it is Amy Winehouse.
