Amy Winehouse`s dad still feels her presence with him
Mitch Winehouse is convinced the spirit of his late daughter - who was found dead in her London home last July aged 27 - will be with him at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday (12.02.12), where she is posthumously nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for `Body and Soul`, her duet with Tony Bennett.
Mitch said: "I`m a firm believer in life after death and she`s with me all the time. She`ll definitely be there.
"[I`m most looking forward to] picking up Amy and Tony Bennett`s Grammy."
Tony added: "Absolutely, yes [she`ll be there]. She`s a great, great artist. I made a wonderful recording with her. That was her last record."
In 2008, Amy scooped five Grammy Awards - Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the single ?Rehab`, Best Pop Vocal Album for `Back to Black` and Best New Artist - and performed at the ceremony via a satellite link up.
Mitch says the ceremony was always important to Amy, particularly after her record-breaking haul of wins four years ago.
He told E! News: "That night at the Grammys was pivotal for her because she realised what a talent she was. And how much she enjoyed that evening, it gave her a new lease on life. So the Grammys are very important to Amy and to my family."
