The first thing you’re bound to notice about the video for Amy Winehouse and Tony Bennett’s duet, “Body and Soul,” is how healthy and strong Winehouse looks in it. She and Bennett seem to be having a wonderful time together; they chat, and she grins and laughs. We’re not religious, but we have to admit that the moment when she kisses her necklace and points heavenward even tugs at our godless heartstrings. And, of course, the duo does a beautiful job with the jazz standard. Today would have been Winehouse’s 28th birthday, and we can think of no better tribute than a video that memorializes the singer at her best. Watch the clip after the jump, and get ready to cry a little at your desk, if you’re prone to that sort of thing.
