Which duo won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2012 Grammys for "Body and Soul"?

The story behind the answer

Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 2012 Grammys for "Body and Soul." The recording was a posthumous collaboration: Winehouse died in July 2011, several months before the Grammy ceremony, making the award one of the final major honors associated with her career.

"Body and Soul" is a jazz standard written in 1930 by Johnny Green, with lyrics by Edward Heyman, Robert Sour, and Frank Eyton. Bennett and Winehouse recorded their version for Bennett's 2011 album "Duets II," a collection celebrating Bennett's 85th birthday. Their pairing connected Bennett's classic vocal tradition with Winehouse's jazz-informed style.

The 54th Annual Grammy Awards took place on February 12, 2012. The category included recordings by Coldplay, Foster the People, Maroon 5 and the Black Keys, but the award went to Bennett and Winehouse. A common confusion is calling the song a new Winehouse composition; it was instead a modern recording of an older standard.
