Finally some news about Amy I am excited to report. Amy has been personally asked by Otis Redding to join other artists (including Mariah Carrey and Usher) on an Otis Redding tribute album. Otis met Amy at the Nelson Mandela birthday party bash, of which she was a performer. Quincy Jones is one of the best known producers in the music industry, as well as performers. He has produced hits for Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald. He also has many hit songs, including Love Man - which was in the Dirty Dancing soundtrack - and rumor has it is the song that Amy asked to cover. Otis said about Amy: "She is the only new artist that has me excited about music again. I would produce anything the woman sings. She is a genius."
Even more exciting.. Mark Ronson approached Amy and asked if he could collaborate with her on the production of the song. And she agreed. The two are in good graces again after a fallout when the two recorded a version of the new James Bond song. Drama unfolded when Mark believed that Amy's addiction was getting in the way of them finishing a polished song. He apparently is over that and wants to work with Amy again, telling reporters: "I miss her. I am too excited about this collaboration to let anything else cloud my mind. I love Amy."
This song is PERFECT for Amy, as is the genre of music. To hear it for yourself, here is the original, just imagine what Amy will sound like singing this:
