Nonetheless, it was the 2006's 'Back to Black' album which brought her worldwide stardom. The artist was awarded five Grammy Awards.
Amy Winehouse was loved by her fans thanks to her exceptional, strong voice..deeply moving songs and true, heart-rending lyrics...She was a song composer, guitarist and a text writer. Her music is a mixture of jazz, soul, and r&b...
Amy's fans have been shocked by the tragic news...numerous people are gathering outside her house, lay flowers, photos, letters and even bottles of wine, beer and cigarettes...
