Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer-songwriter known for her powerful deep contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz.Winehouse's 2003 debut album, Frank, was critically successful in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album, Back to Black, led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British female to win five Grammys,including three of the "Big Four", Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year...
The tragic death of Amy Winehouse is one of the darkest days in British music.
She was a huge talent with a massive future ahead of her. It's a sickening shame to think she will never have the chance to realise her potential.
More than that, she was a daughter, Godmother and friend to a lot of people. The Queen of Camden leaves more than just a boozy north London hub in mourning - her fans across the world are grieving.
To die at 27, eerily like so many music icons before her, is a crying shame.
She has already written enough timeless material to leave a proud musical legacy - which is testament to her incredible talent...
Happy Birthday AMY WINEHOUSE '
RIP ...
