It is only because Amy died that they are releasing it as a single. I should have been her manager!:amyshock:

I hope I don't upset anyone, I think she went in the wrong direction singing that balad with Tony Bennett. It was never going to be released as a single as far as I understood it was for his Lp/CD of duets to be released as a CD under his name. I think she was going too old too soon. Possibly to try and shake of the drugs image.

http://www.npr.org/2...art-of-intimacy"But Amy, what a tragedy! She was as great as Ella or Billie Holiday. She had the whole gift. What a tragedy it is that she could have had the most beautiful life just singing songs like that."
Interviewer: "Sounds like you were very touched by meeting her."
"I was, 'cause my master was Sinatra. When Elvis Presley came along, the whole music business world changed into big stadiums. The art of intimacy was gone. So then there was the Beatles, and Elvis Presley, and the Rolling Stones, and so on. And I kept listening, saying, 'Let me hear a singer!' I want to hear a Nat Cole, I want to hear a Sinatra, I want to hear a Jo Stafford or Ella Fitzgerald. And she was the first one that came along, of all the young ladies, that actually had the gift. She was a great singer!"
