The pair's rendition of the song, which was recorded for the soundtrack to the forthcoming The Great Gatsby film, was debuted by Mark Ronson on his EastVillageRadio show. Ronson, who produced the original track for Winehouse's album of the same name, said it was a "wonderful take on our song" and added: "I'm flattered and honoured, I know Amy would be too."
Earlier this week, however, Winehouse's father Mitch said that he didn't think Beyonce's version of 'Back To Black' "brings anything" to the song and added: "I wasn't asked for my permission if they could record it. They have got to pay for the privilege, which is what they are doing. I can't tell you how much it is but it's a lot of money."
The Great Gatsby soundtrack also features The xx, Jack White, Florence + The Machine and Lana Del Rey. The album, which was was executive produced by Jay-Z and will also include his own new track '$100 Bill', will be released in the UK on May 6.
