Beyonce and Andre 3000's Cover Of The Amy Winehouse track 'Back to Black' For "The Great Gatsby' Soundtrack Leaked [Listen Here]

Beyonce and Outkast's, Andre 3000, recently teamed up to cover Amy Winehouse's track, "Back to Black," as part of the soundtrack for the forthcoming The Great Gatsby, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire. The pairs version of the song was recorded by DJ Mark Ronson on his EastVillageRadio show.

Ronson produced the original version of the song for Winehouse's album of the same name. The album quickly shot to the top of the charts both domestically, in England and overseas in America and across much of Europe. Unfortunately, the bouffant-clad singer who specialized in neo-soul, dripping with innuendo, died of alcohol poisoning (among other drugs), on July 23, 2011.

Earlier this week, Winehouse's father, Mitch said he didn't believe Beyonce's verson of 'Back to Black' "brings anything" to the song. He 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, which will feature the song, has a big lineup of stars performing, including Jack White, The xx, Florence and the Machine and Lana Del Ray. 

The album itself was executive produced by Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z, and will also include his new track '$100 bill' scheduled to be released in the UK on May 6. Here's the full track listing of the album:
