Tony Bennett will be honored at the Amy Winehouse Foundation Inspiration Awards and Gala in New York the evening of March 21, 2013.

The AWF Inspiration Award for Lifetime Achievement will be presented to Tony Bennett at this event.

For information about the Amy Winehouse Foundation and its mission to prevent the effects of drug and alcohol misuse on young people, please visit their US website or the foundation’s Facebook page.

We’ll be monitoring Twitter for news from this event. Meanwhile, here is their Grammy-winning duet of Body and Soul from Duets II. It was Amy’s last recording.

And it you haven’t yet seen The Zen of Bennett documentary, I highly recommend it. The scene with Tony and Amy working on this brilliant recording is quite extraordinary. This film is available for streaming from Netflix.
