RIP Amy, such a beautiful sensitive artist who unfortunately had lots of mental health issues and got caught up in a weird drug scene in north London. She was from a Jewish very working class London family- her dad was a cab driver who used to play a lot of Sinatra and Billie Holliday to her. She went to a prestigious music school and was part of the national youth jazz orchestra. She was also a great guitarist. I met her briefly when we were neighbours in 2006. Really sweet down to earth person. When she passed I was heartbroken- I still am to this day.

@graciep.69842 ай бұрын
She was so sweet, despite her tough exterior, and so very lonely. At one point she’d let strangers in off the street if they visited her Camden house. Seeing her portrayal in the tabloids towards the end was heartbreaking. They took the worst pictures of her that they could, and there were some awful ones. She was at the pub every night, drunk and more, fighting, walking home through paparazzi with smudged tear-streaked makeup and blood seeping from her toes in battered ballet slippers. How was she supposed to recover when she was attacked and mocked the way she was, called trash because of her addictions. Then when she finally passed, suddenly all of the publications and programs that put her through that were calling it a tragedy. They lauded her talent, told her life story with compassion that would have meant a lot more if it had been around when she was still here and struggling. They hit her when she was down, over and over. Then called her a tragic genius when she was gone, way too early. Sorry, this is the first time I’ve listened to her music in a while. It brought all of my anger about the way she was treated, mocked, pushing through the paparazzi to get home, looking barely alive in the pictures they took. Mocked for the thing that ended her life, then suddenly she was portrayed completely differently. The hypocrisy of it all. I would watch from time to time, despite the awful things they said - it seems silly, but I wanted to make sure at least one person was watching with support and compassion - I’m sure there were others, but not many. Not nearly enough. It just felt like she deserved to have at least one person watching in her corner. So I checked in and saw the heartbreaking gauntlet she had to run every night.

@@ilovemusic5558 I think I already did. Listen, everybody likes the artist they like. My point was simply that it is silly to think the one you or me like best is the GOAT. What is true is that, in spite of the many phenomenal artists out there, there are only a handful of truly elite, special artists currently active today. These are artists like Floor Jansen, Lara Fabian, Angela Jordan, and Beth Hart. Would Amy have fit into that group? Probably, but death at an early age means your discography is limited to 2 studio albums, magnified fame, and a lot of unrealized potential. Beth nearly met the exact same fate with rising fame in 1999 and near death from mental illness, drug addiction, and anorexia at age 27. Fortunately, she is such the survivor that she made it through and has produced 13 studio albums and 4 live albums. Now, what I sent you was 5 performances between 2004 and 2018 to demonstrate her phenomenal vocal power, range, tone, skill, stage presence, musicianship, and song writing talent. Only 2 of the 5 were covers (that's not "most"). She writes her own music and lyrics but is also well known for her studio collaborations with guitarist Joe Bonamassa with whom she produced 3 cover blues and soul cover albums in 2011, 2013, & 2018. (This is also the reason the 2 coves are not from the 21st century--they're classic blues & soul standards). Because she died early, Amy's career lasted less than a decade. It would have been the same for Beth , who was more of a rock n roller at the time, if she hadn't survived (although not the same level of fame Amy had achieved). After getting booted from Atlantic Records in 2000 (drugs & mental instability), Beth resurrected herself as a big star in Europe (2003-2011) and then again in the US (2012 to present). She has produced 7 #1 Blues albums after the age of 41. Because she survived, Beth's phenomenal talent has continued to evolve and expand from Rock and Blues-Rock, to Blues, R&B, Jazz, and American Ballads. So, it's hard to claim an artist is the greatest in the "21st century" and that no other "has even scratched the surface of her talent" when they have produced little in the way of a discography and had insufficient time to grow, develop, and realized their full potential. Hopefully, though, apart from AW, you'll see there are a few select living musicians that are simply breath-taking every time they perform. Here's 5 more performances that demonstrate the mind blowing range and talent of BH. Enjoy: “Mechanical Heart” (from ‘Live in Inas Nacht’ in Hamburg, Germany, Sept 2022; original song about her husband): kzbin.info/www/bejne/paelqKGInbStn7M "House of Sin” (original from 2005 Pinkpop Festival in Landgraaf, Netherlands): kzbin.info/www/bejne/r33ZYYSrjJ2bftE “Sister Heroine” (from the 2018 Royal Albert Hall concert; about losing an older sister to AIDS): kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4WakI2GfqaieZY “Whole Lotta Love” (killer acoustic version of the Zeppelin song in a tiny French radio studio, 2012): kzbin.info/www/bejne/oobEpqdoopmMl6s “Lay Your Hands on Me” (original from the 2004 Paradiso concert; Beth on the keys): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWebioSofrFnp5I

@@ilovemusic5558 I thought I was eminently clear--although Beth had her 1st major label record in AD 1996 (the 20th century), she forged the vast majority of her work post 2000 (the 21st century). Amy was born in 1983 and Beth in 1972. Amy's first album (Frank) was released in 2003 and second (Back to Black) in 2006--both early 2st century as you so astutely observed. Beth's first two albums with Atlantic Records were released in 1996 & 1999. Her career resurrection--the part Amy never got the chance to do--was also in 2003 (also the 21st century) with Leave The Light On. Now, at 50, she's tackled rock n roll's most hallowed ground with her 'Tribute to Led Zeppelin' album released in February 2022 and is not even close to peaking. Clearly way beyond "scratching the surface of (Amy's) talent"...but everybody has an opinion, but it doesn't necessarily mean the opinion comports with the facts.

I saw Amy in the Bush Theatre in Shepards Bush London in 2003 and there were only 250-300 people and Amy played all of her first album. She is hands down is a classic stylish artist not because she passed away but her voice, songwriting talents. At that time I would always play her music in my car, my friends would say "switch that off and put some hip hop or whatever" I said NO I'm playing Amy. No one knew who she was because she was out of the limelight. 2nd album came and the problems started, media hooked onto her unfortunatly she was taken far FAR too early Peace ❤2ALL 👍🤜🏽

He said: Amy winehouse. She died a couple of years ago. I can’t really or precisely explain it but when he said that I got a feeling like something really precious was some how stolen from the world. Just like Janis Joplin..

An amazing talent that left us way to soon😢 I was lucky enough to see her live in ‘08 she was a tiny woman at 5’3” but sang like she was twice her size.

Amy still lives today thru individuals like POLO who learn of her special talents. Amy died in 2011 ... over a decade ago ... but yet I still feel she is here.

Amy was born on the 14th September 1983 in London, two days before I had my daughter, also here in London. I always think of Amy when my daughter's birthday is approaching.

Jane H commenting …. Amy Winehouse was a petite girl with the most wonderful, unique voice. She co-wrote most of her songs, & some were based on her own life. She had the most incredible career ahead of her. It’s just so tragic that she passed at just 27 years old of an accidental drug overdose. The music world certainly lost someone very special.

An unbelievable talent. She has this cockney irratic talking voice but when she sings OMG she transforms into this soulful old school jazz singer. 😍 SO smooth.❤ Amy

The side piece he went off to was his addictions and it through her into her own addictions. This song is so tragically beautiful and one of my favorite Amy jams

She was so good that Tony Bennett recorded a duet with her. I still remember my first Amy song " you know I'm no good " Still , with this BtoB , her best thing. Old friend had pub and played a new thing for me. Great musical moment . Lately not that many anymore Maybe Mimi and Josephine with Creep .Don't laugh , they're phenomenal. I mean the best 2 voice harmony in a long time. Try it .

Amy loved old jazz music that’s why this song sounds vintage. Just see the film about her Back to black. What a voice, what a talent

I thought the very same thing when I heard her sing this for the first time, the black and white video in the background helps to give the 1940's - 1950's feeling to this tragic song.

@@Matt.Willoughbyshe really didn’t. The only bad performances were towards the end when she was in the throes of her demons. And those aren’t even performances. It is a troubled soul being exploited on stage, incoherent and therefore incapable of lucidly performing

She was a phenomenon, once in a lifetime. The first time I heard her I had to stop everything and close my eyes. She always said she didn’t want to be famous, that she felt far more comfortable singing in small clubs with her friends.

Polo, you are every fxckin’ freakin’ time pure, real, honest and additionally completely grounded. I love your captivating spirits you constantly exhale, my man! I wouldn’t know what, when, how but in my humble opinion you are born for and shall rise to a great(er) and greatest audience with your very show to deliver yourself to all the empty soulless minds and lost characters thirsty for life and numb enough to not detecting it. You're right, Amy is special. No wonder you liked this track. Great day Sir Polo. And your listeners too.
