Winehouse's dad to unveil debut album

Zimbabwe Star (ANI) Thursday 27th May, 2010

British singer Amy Winehouse's father Mitch is set to release his debut album.

Mitch said that Amy encouraged him to record at the studio.

"Amy and I spoke about me doing an album six or seven years ago. The timing wasn't right since Amy wasn't well. Now she's better and the time is right," he added.

The album named Rush Of Love will be released in June, reports The BBC.

"Am I cashing in on it being Amy's dad? I suppose in a way, if the album sells, I will be. But that's not why I'm doing it. I'm doing it because Amy and I spoke about doing an album years ago," he said.

"But you cannot deny the fact that I would not be bringing out an album if I wasn't Amy's dad. It's true," Mitch added.

The album has 11 Rat Pack-style swing songs. It includes four new tracks written by Tony Hiller, best known for writing 'Save Your Kisses for Me', and 'United We Stand.' (ANI)

    Four days ago marked two decades since Ratko Mladic became the commander of the main staff of the army of Republika Srpska - the VRS. On that day, Mladic began his full participation in a criminal endeavour that was already in progress. On that day, he assumed the mantle of realising through military might the criminal goals of ethnically cleansing much of Bosnia. On that day he commenced his direct involvement in serious international crimes.
