'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.' Tony Bennett\r
\r
Following her tragic passing in July, some of the producers and musicians who worked closely with Amy Winehouse, among them Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi, spent time listening over the many recordings that Amy had made, before, during, and after the release of \u201cFrank\u201d and \u201cBack To Black\u201d. It was said by all who worked with Amy that she never sang or played a song the same way twice. It quickly became apparent to Salaam and Mark that they had a collection of songs that deserved to be heard, a collection of songs that were a fitting testament to Amy the artist and, as importantly, Amy their friend. \r
\r
\u201cLioness : Hidden Treasures\u201c, the third album from Amy Winehouse, without question one of the most talented, original, and best loved artists to emerge in popular music for decades, will be released on December 5th through Island Records. The 12 song collection features previously unreleased tracks, alternative versions of existing classics as well as a couple of brand new Amy compositions. The album has been compiled by long-time musical partners Salaam Remi and Mark Ronson in close association with Amy\u2019s family, management and record label Island Records. \u201cLioness : Hidden Treasures\u201d proves a fitting tribute to the artist, the talent and the woman and serves as a reminder of Amy\u2019s extraordinary powers as a songwriter, a singer and an interpreter of classics. \r

Speaking about the album Amy\u2019s father Mitch had this to say:\r
\u201cI spent so much time chasing after Amy, telling her off that I never realized what a true genius she was. It wasn\u2019t until I sat down with the rest of the family and listened to this album that I fully appreciated the breadth of Amy\u2019s talent, from jazz standards to hip hop songs, it really took my breath away. \u201cHalftime\u201d, I\u2019d never heard before, is just incredibly beautiful. If the family had felt that this album wasn\u2019t up to the standard of \u201cFrank\u201d and \u201cBack To Black\u201d we would never have agreed to release it and we believe it will stand as a fitting tribute to Amy \u2018s musical legacy.\u201d- \r

\r
\u201cWill You Still Love Me Tomorrow\u201d - Amy\u2019s beautiful reading of the Carole King written Shirelles classic.

Produced by Salaam Remi. Recorded in May 2008. \r
\r
\u201cThe Girl From Ipanema\u201d - the first song the 18 year old Amy sang when she first went to Miami to record with Salaam. Salaam remarked that \u201cthe way she re-interpreted this bossa nova classic made me realise that I was dealing with a very special talent.

\r
\u201cHalftime\u201d - Amy had talked to Ahmir \u2018Questlove\u2019 Thompson of the Roots about working together. \u201cHalftime\u201d is a song that Amy and Salaam had worked on since the Frank sessions. The result is beautiful. Recorded in August 2002. \r
\r
\u201cBest Friends\u201d - \u201cFrank\u201d era live set opener produced by Salaam Remi. Probably the first song that early Amy fans would have heard live. Recorded in February 2003. \r

Produced by Salaam Remi. \r
