“Body and Soul” is a cinematic cover of Libby Holman’s 1930 song that features vocals from English singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse. The song, recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, was Winehouse’s final studio recording, taking place on March 23, 2011, exactly four months before her tragic death....
[Verse 1: Tony Bennett]
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
[Verse 2: Amy Winehouse]
I spend my days in longin'
And wonderin' why it's me you're wrongin'
I tell you I mean it
I'm all for you, body and soul
[Pre-Chorus: Tony Bennett, Amy Winehouse]
I can't believe it, it's hard to conceive it
That you'd turn away romance, oh
Are you pretendin'? It looks like the endin'
Unless I could have one more chance to prove it, dear
[Chorus: Tony Bennett, Amy Winehouse & Both]
My life, a wreck, you're making
You know I'm yours for just the takin'
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you, body and soul
[Pre-Chorus: Tony Bennett]
Are you pretending? It looks like the ending
Unless I can have one more chance to prove, dear
[Chorus: Amy Winehouse, Tony Bennett & Both]
My life, a wreck, you're makin'
You know I'm yours for just the taking
I'd gladly surrender
Myself to you, body and soul

She was one of the truest jazz singers I ever heard. For me, she should be treated like Ella Fitzgerald, like Billie Holiday – she had the complete gift. If she had lived, I would have said, “Slow down, you’re too important.” Life teaches you, really, how to live it if you can live long enough.
