Clip for Tony Bennett duet premiered this morning, on what would have been singer’s 28th birthday. By Gil Kaufman Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse in “Body And Soul” Photo: Sony Music Entertainment Nearly two months after her shocking death , the final video and song recorded by late British soul star Amy Winehouse dropped on Wednesday (September 14), and it shows the “Rehab” singer in fine form. The duet with jazz icon Tony Bennett on the standard “Body and Soul” premiered at 6 a.m. on MTV, VH1, MTV Hits and mtvU and will be repeated on an hourly basis throughout the morning, after which it will be available online on MTV.com. The clip opens with Bennett taking the lead as Winehouse looks on coquettishly, often seen in soft focus as the elder statesman sings, “My heart is sad and lonely/ For you I sigh, for you dear only/ Why haven’t you seen it/ I’m all for you body and soul.” And then it’s Winehouse’s turn, as the singer known for her often shambolic live performances is seen on her best behavior, focusing in on the lines “I spend my days in longing/ And wondering why it’s me you’re wronging/ I tell you I mean it/ I’m all for you body and soul.” The video footage of the two singing together is bittersweet, with Winehouse looking healthy and alert, twirling her hair flirtatiously as she matches Bennett note for note on the standard. Wearing a short black skirt and one of the plaid sweaters from her Fred Perry fashion collection , her hair in a signature bouffant and her lids smeared with Cleopatra-style cat-eye mascara, a smiling Winehouse holds her own with Bennett and seems to enjoy the challenge of working with the icon. After moving her arms around nervously while singing, at one point Winehouse kisses her golden necklace, then looks up and points to the ceiling. The song will appear on Bennett’s Duets II project, which is due out on Tuesday and also features songs with Mariah Carey, Lady Gaga, Carrie Underwood, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson, John Mayer, Norah Jones, Faith Hill, Josh Groban, Aretha Franklin and Michael Bubl
