AMY WINEHOUSE’S FINAL SONG RELEASED ON HER 28TH BIRTHDAY

September 14, 2011 - 8:18 am

Happy birthday, Amy Winehouse.

The soul singer -- who was found dead July 23 -- would have turned 28 on Wednesday.

In honor of the bittersweet occasion, the Grammy-winning star's final song, a duet with Tony Bennett called "Body and Soul," went online, with all proceeds benefitting the Amy Winehouse Foundation.

"Our singing together just blended perfectly," a good-humored Winehouse says in a video clip from the recording. (The song will appear on Bennett's album Duets II). "It couldn't have been better."
