Usher's dream got shattered when the singer died unexpectedly in July 2011. "We met and we talked about it for a moment when I saw her," Usher told MTV.

"I was shopping and she was doing some private shopping and she came out and we kind of crossed each other's [paths] and, [I was like] 'Is that Amy Winehouse?' ... And before you know it we talked and exchanged information and I invited her to a show ... and she didn't come", he added.

Well, it would have been a hit number for sure!
