Amy Winehouse

Five-time Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse rose to fame with her seminal 2006 album, Back to Black. She was as well-known for her distinctive voice and innovative soul-infused pop-jazz as she was for the self-destructive vulnerability that eventually led to her death Much-lauded as one of the UK's most unique and promising young talents, Winehouse's style spawned a genre of creative young British female singer-songwriters, paving the way for the likes of Duffy, Adele and even US pop queen Lady Gaga.
