About Amy Winehouse
Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983 in Southgate, London, died 23 July 2011 in Camden, London) was an English singer and composer, known for her eclectic mix of various musical genres including soul, jazz, rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues. Her musical formation went through listening to such jazz divas as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Sarah Vaughan; she was later influenced by contemporary metropolitan popular music as well. She represented a union of these aesthetics: a happy fusion of '40s jazz, '60s soul and hard texts inspired by daily life.
LMFM Says:
Amy Winehouse has died. Aged just 27, the singer was found dead in her North London home on July 23rd. The news serves an injurious blow to British culture as her unique voice grows ever quieter on the winds of evanescence. Winehouse's personal choices and destructive involvement with drugs never overshadowed her brilliance as a vocalist and artist.
Amy Winehouse was once asked what scares her most, she responded "Dying with no one knowing of any contribution i've ever made to creative music" - She can rest assured her greatest fears were never realised. R.I.P. Amy.
