The music industry lost one of the most dangerously talented musicians yesterday.Even if her musical talent and her unequaled singing voice was overshadowed by fame,drug addiction and endless tabloid reports ,everyone believed that she will be back to her best .
Even though she had just released two albums till now,she gained so much appreciation for her voice and her unique different style of music which included various genres like classic pop, jazz and rock.She was very well known for her song-writing skills and powerful contralto vocals.Amy debuted with her album Frank in the year 2003 which was a success in the UK and also won her the Mercury prize.The album featured hits like "Stronger than me" and "Take the box" to name a few.The album entered the UK charts at 60th and finished at 13th and was also certified double platinum.
Black To Black is Amy's second and final album which was released in 2006.The album was a worldwide hit and it won her 5 Grammy awards during the 50th annual grammy awards.The album produced many super hits like "Back To Black","Rehab","You Know I Am No Good","Tears Dry On Their Own" and "Love Is A Losing Game". The album won best pop vocal album while "Rehab" won best female pop vocal performance,song of the year and record of the year with Amy also winning best new artist. The album was also nominated for Album of the year.TIME magazine named "Rehab" one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at #1.
All the fame was the main cause that lead to her self destruction.Her addiction for crack and alcohol led to serious health complications in 2008 and also made her very weak.Her lackluster stage performances and many stage bloopers were all a direct result of her self destructive mode.Her talent has no bounds and she showed that with her music but she has always been one who has not tapped her full potential.The singer's drug and alcohol abuse were always a part of tabloid reports from 2006 right till her death.And,her legal problems with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil made her even more worse and dependent on drugs and alcohol.
Amy Winehouse , the born-jewish girl from north london who swept the world with her voice,died 23rd july,aged just 27!!Like so many other artists,her music will always live on.
