WINEHOUSE
Close your eyes while listening to an Any Winehouse album and you will hear echoes of Billie Holiday, Macy Gray, Ronnie Spector and Erykah Badu. The gifted vocalist was born in London in 1983.
Winehouse grew up surrounded by jazz musician uncles. When her demo tape was presented to the A&R rep at Island Records by her friend Tyler James, she was signed to the label. In 2003, her debut album 'Frank' was released. It received Brit Awards and an Ivor Novello.
Her abuse of alcohol hindered her live performances and attracted controversy. Winehouse was inspired by her issues for the hit song "Rehab". The song picked up Record and Song of the Year Grammy Awards. Her 2nd album, 'Back To Black' explored the 60s girl group and soul style. Mark Ronson's adept production raised the bar. "Rehab" reached the Top 10 in America and Britain. The parent album topped the UK Chart and peaked at #2 Stateside.
Mental health and drug use plagued Winehouse despite all the exaltation. Her marriage ended in 2009. She was arrested for various offences. Many live appearances turned into train wrecks.
Winehouse collaborated with Quincy Jones in 2010. The following year, she recorded "Body And Soul" as a duet with Tony Bennett. On July 23 that year, she was discovered dead in her home as a result of excessive drinking.
A new album of leftover tracks entitled 'Lioness: Hidden Treasures' was issued after her tragic death. It reached #1 in Britain. In 2015, the documentary 'Amy' was released. The film featured archival footage and interviews with those associated with Winehouse. Despite her troubles, the blue-eyed soul singer shone brightly for too brief a time.
