Very talented girl. Would have loved for her to still be around and share her talent and live a happy life. Very tragic.
Amy Winehouse
23rd July 2011, Amy Winehouse was found dead at her north London home, she was 27. The troubled singer had a long battle with drink and drugs which overshadowed her recent musical career. Listen to Amy Winehouse talking about Back To Black and her love of 60's music here: http://www.thisdayinmusic.com/pages/this_day_in_music_radio

If you like her sound be sure to check out the artists on Daptone Records, especially Sharon Jones. The Dap-Kings perform on Amy Winehouse's album, Back to Black (itself recorded at the Daptone recording studio), and the band toured with her in 2007. Although, I like Amy's music and am saddened by her tragedy, many felt that her success was another "culture ripoff" ala Pat Boone. Sharon Jones made an interesting comment once paraphrased to "Some people study soul music and then try to sing it; I just open my mouth and soul music comes out". My take is just enjoy it all....cheers, Spencer |
