Amy Jade Winehouse was an English singer and songwriter who passed away on July 23, 2011. She was renowned for her wide range of musical styles, which included soul, jazz, and rhythm and blues, as well as her rich, expressive contralto voice.
Winehouse, who was a young member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, joined Simon Fuller’s 19 Management in 2002. She quickly began recording songs before agreeing to a publishing deal with EMI. Through these record labels, she also established a professional working relationship with producer Salaam Remi. Frank, Winehouse’s self-titled debut album, was released in 2003. Apart from two covers, most of the album’s songs had jazz influences and were co-written by Winehouse. In the UK, Frank received favorable reviews and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
She received the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers, and Authors for the song “Stronger Than Me.”
Back to Black, Winehouse’s follow-up album was released in 2006 and went on to become an international success as well as one of the best-selling albums in UK history. It was nominated for British Album of the Year at the 2007 Brit Awards, and she won the award for British Female Solo Artist.
Her song “Rehab” earned her a second Ivor Novello Award. At the 50th Grammy Awards in 2008, she won five awards, tying the then-record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night and becoming the first British woman to win five Grammys, including three of the General Field “Big Four” Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year (for “Rehab”), and Best Pop Vocal Album.
