Amy tribute on VMAs

AMY TO GET VMA LOVE: In his first appearance on the VMAs since 1993, Tony Bennett will pay homage to Amy Winehouse Sunday night, MTV has confirmed. Bennett will introduce footage from the pair's duet on “Body and Soul,” recorded five months ago in London, but the tribute may well climax with performances from major Amy fans Adele and Lady Gaga, both of whom are scheduled to perform on the telecast. "It was a thrill to record with Amy Winehouse, and when you listen to the recording of 'Body and Soul,' it is a testament to her artistic genius and her brilliance as one of the most honest musicians I have ever known,” Bennett said in a statement. The track will be released as both a single and video Sept. 14, Winehouse's birthday, with proceeds going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation. Her father Mitch gave his blessing to the tribute, saying, "Our family is honored that the VMA's are giving Amy this wonderful tribute. We know that Amy's performance of 'Rehab' at the MTV Movie Awards played an important part in Amy's worldwide success.” (8/24a)
