Jay,when I writePublished 2 months ago in BeatBack to Black : a review and tribute to Amy Winehouse
Amy Jade Winehouse a true talent who tragically passed away way before her time. Amy was a true original she was a revival of new jazz and 60’s soul. Amy was in a class by herself and she was a true original. Her voice was incredible, her musicianship fantastic, and her songwriting amazing. Unfortunately, bad choices and personal heartbreak cut her young life short and her promising career never became what it was destined to be. Her album “Back to Black” an album of 60’s revival and I loved the album it was fresh and exciting the album.

At the time VH1 had a concert series called “Storytellers” where bands would perform in an intimate setting for a small group of fans and do what else tell the stories of their careers, how certain songs had come to be, and naturally sing the songs as well.
