Amy Winehouse wins posthumous Grammy

Winehouse's parents collected her posthumous Grammy.

Amy Winehouse won her first posthumous award at the Grammys last night (12 February).

The late singer won the award for Best Performance by a Pop Duo or Group for her duet with Tony Bennett 'Body and Soul'.

Winehouse's parents Mitch and Janis collected the award alongside 85-year-old Bennett.

Mitch said: "We shouldn't be here. Our darling daughter should be here. But these are the cards that were dealt.

"It meant so much to her, and Tony's collaboration has meant so much to her - and she was so excited about 'Body and Soul,' because it's her favorite song."

He also paid tribute to Whitney Houston, who died this weekend, and Etta James who died a few weeks ago stating "There's a beautiful girl band up there."

Amy was found dead at her Camden home on 23 July 2011. She was 27-years-old and died from alcohol poisoning.

Since her death, Amy has enjoyed a number one album with the posthumously released 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures', which features the duet with Bennett, previously recorded tracks and unheard versions of her hits.
