The Amy Winehouse Foundation will be partially funded by proceeds from Winehouse's last recording, a duet with Tony Bennett of the classic "Body and Soul," that will appear on Bennett's upcoming album, Duets II.

The cause of Winehouse's death, at age 27, is still being determined, pending toxicology results.
