Winehouse senior planning an album?

According to The Sun, Mitch Winehouse, father of Amy Winehouse, is planning an album of Sinatra covers and original songs.

What's crazier than Mitch 'father of Amy' Winehouse having his own web TV show on the Living channel website? Him releasing a record? Well, according to The Sun an album of Mitch singing Sinatra covers and a few original songs is in the pipeline. They quote a source thus: "Mitch has been working on it for a while now. Amy always credits her dad with getting her into singing. He loves music. He has a good voice and wants a go at turning professional". So the message for any parents of pop stars hoping for a bit of fame and fortune for themsleves? Have your child develop a dangerous drink or drug addiction that requires you to deliver regular statements to the press, build a profile for yourself, and then you're laughing. Mrs Doherty must be kicking herself for not implementing such a plan when her son was still in the news everyday.
