JUST before the world lost Amy Winehouse way too soon, she got to sing with one of her all-time heroes, Tony Bennett.
She was so nervous that there were several false starts before they nailed a take of sultry jazz standard Body And Soul.
But it was typical of Bennett’s kindly manner that he was able to put his duet partner at ease.
He said afterwards: “People think that anyone can sing jazz, but it’s a spirit that you’re born with . . . or not. Amy was born with that spirit.”
So, too, was Bennett.
