Amy Winehouse was a British R&B/Soul and jazz singer/songwriter, and artist. Born on 14 September 1983 in London, England, she made a significant impact on the music industry during her short life. Her debut album, "Frank" (2003), received critical acclaim and earned her a nomination for the Mercury Music Prize. In 2004, she won an Ivor Novello award for her debut single "Stronger Than Me." Her second album, "Back to Black" (2006), became one of the highest-selling albums of that year.

Tragically, Amy Winehouse passed away at the age of 27 due to accidental alcohol poisoning at her home in Camden, London. Despite her untimely death in July 2011, her legacy as an immensely talented artist continues to resonate with fans worldwide.

In addition to her musical achievements, Amy Winehouse was also the founder of Lioness Records. Through this record label, she aimed to support emerging artists and promote their work within the industry.

Rough Trade Essential

With producer Salaam Remi returning from Frank, plus the welcome addition of Mark Ronson (fresh off successes producing for Christina Aguilera and Robbie Williams), Back to Black has a similar sound to Frank but much more flair and spark to it. Winehouse was inspired by girl group soul of the '60s, and fortunately Ronson and Remi are two of the most facile and organic R&amp;B producers active. As before, Winehouse writes all of the songs from her experiences, most of which involve the occasionally riotous and often bittersweet vagaries of love. Also in similar fashion to Frank, her eye for details and her way of relating them are delightful. She states her case against "Rehab" on the knockout first single with some great lines: "They tried to make me go to rehab I won't go go go, I'd rather be at home with Ray" (Charles, that is). As often as not, though, the songs on Back to Black are universal, songs that anyone, even Joss Stone, could take to the top of the charts, such as "Love Is a Losing Game" or the title song ("We only said good bye with words, I died a hundred times/You go back to her, and I go back to black").
