This morning I heard an Amy Winehouse song on the radio. And after the track the DJ mentioned that today would have been Amy’s birthday. But unfortunately she passed away in July 2011. Wow, that long ago already.
Last week what would have been Aviccii birthday trigger me to make a post about mental health awareness. Definately something Amy and her entourage should have payed more attention to. Throughout her career she suffered from alcohol and substance abuse. Her story was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, and I couldn’t help but feel a profound empathy for her.
She had a sound like no other and made a huge impression with this. Can you imagine how huge here careerd would have been? But like I already mentioned, unfortunately she died as a result from alcohol poisining, and joined the infamous Club of 27.
So in honour of her birthday, today I am sharing my favorite Amy Winhouse songs, enjoy!
1. Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse – Valerie
2. Amy Winehouse – You Know I’m No Good
3. Amy Winehouse – Rehab
4. Tony Bennett, Amy Winehouse – Body and Soul
