The emotional highpoint and poignant moment of the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards came as Russell Brand lead a tribute to the late Amy Winehouse.
Brand introduced the legendary Tony Bennett who unveiled footage of Winehouse’s final performance -- his recent recording session with her of their duet Body and Soul for his upcoming Duets II album.
The tribute continued with Bruno Mars’s triumphant performance of Winehouse’s hit Valerie.
With his soaring vocals, horn section harmonies, and smooth and syncopated choreography, Mars and his band’s performance was a joyous celebration of Amy Winehouse’s life and music.
