A collection of unreleased material recorded by the late Amy Winehouse will be released on December 5th. The album, titled Lioness: Hidden Treasures, will contain 12 cuts recorded between 2002 and 2008 including covers of "The Girl From Ipanema," Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" and "Body and Soul," a duet with Tony Bennett that is also featured on his new album, Duets II

The set, which was compiled by producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi along with the singer's family, will also feature a slow version of her hit single "Valerie" and "Between the Cheats," a song that recorded in 2008 with Remi and was intended for her third studio album. 

A donation of £1 from the sale of each copy in the United Kingdom will be donated to the Amy Winehouse Foundation, a charity that her father Mitch opened in the wake of her death earlier this year.

“Baby Got Back”

Sir Mix-a-Lot | 1992

While watching a Budweiser commercial during the Super Bowl, Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the skinny female models in the ad didn’t represent reality. So he wrote this ode to ample bottoms, featuring its famous to-the-point lyric: “I like big butts and I cannot lie.” MTV banished the video, featuring shaking booties and sexually suggestive fruit, to 9 p.m. or later. “I thought my career was over,” he told Rolling Stone. “Then I called Rick Rubin, and I told him the video was banned, and he was like, 'Great!' We sold another 2 million records.”
