The Grammy Museum will celebrate one of Amy Winehouse's greatest works, virtually, with the help of another soulful singer.

JoJo, whose hits include "Too Little, Too Late" and "Leave (Get Out)," will perform as part of an Instagram Live event at 4 p.m. Thursday to honor the 13th anniversary of Winehouse's "Back to Black" single.

The event will feature a conversation with JoJo, who counts Winehouse as a major influence; stylist Naomi Parry, who worked with Winehouse on all major appearances and performances from 2006-2011; and close friend Catriona Gourlay, who lived with Winehouse in Camden during the period that formed the basis of the songs that became the "Back To Black" album.

The Grammy Museum will also unveil "Beyond Black — The Style Of Amy Winehouse," a virtual exhibit, following the Instagram Live on its website. The exhibit was scheduled to run from January through April, but the museum closed because of the coronavirus. It features several of Winehouse's outfits, handwritten lyrics and journal entries.

"Back to Black" was released as a single April 30, 2007 and was certified platinum for more than 1 million digital sales in the U.S. It was covered in 2013 by Beyonce and Andre 3000 for "The Great Gatsby" soundtrack.
