- “All My Loving” The young singer transformed the Beatles’ rollicking 1963 cut into a delicate acoustic ballad with a bossa-nova soul.

- “Someone to Watch Over Me” This Gershwin composition is a mainstay of the Great American Songbook, but the English soulstress reclaimed it for Britain with this gorgeous rendition.

After powerhouse 1-2 punch of ‘Rehab’ and ‘You Know I’m No Good’, Back to Black takes a bit of a breather with its first true jazz song of the record. With its languid beat and gentle shuffle, ‘Me & Mr. Jones’ is on pace to be perhaps the first real love song of the album. Then comes the first verse: “What kind of fuckery is this? / You made me mis...
The heartbreaking end to the standard edition of Back to Black finds Winehouse exhausted after a full album of love and loss. With an interpolation of the opening to The Icemen’s ‘My Girl (She’s a Fox), a song that features a young Jimi Hendrix on lead guitar, Winehouse dips back into the past to pull out a completely modern take on a broken relati...
It’s a lot cooler these days to focus on Winehouse’s work outside of Back to Black. As the cornerstone of her legacy, Back to Black gets most of the attention and praise when Winehouse is talked about now. But she had a full-length debut that was far more indebted to the jazz and blues of her youth than the girl group pop of Back to Black, and Fran...
Back in ye olden days of CDs, hidden tracks were a hell of a lot easier to sneak onto official releases. If you happened to buy the original version of Frankand went to the tracklisting, the album seemingly ended with the combination track of ‘Outro/Brother’. But just as soon the sound of a needle picks up, Winehouse dives into one more song. ‘Mr. ...
Back to Black is one of the nastier putdowns ever put to tape. For nearly 35 minutes, Winehouse is completely done with all of her former lover’s shit and takes him to task at nearly every opportunity. When she’s not on the attack, she’s a wounded beast who wakes up alone and has to hide the pain through drinks and drugs. It’s dark and ultimately i...
Thinking about the kind of career Amy Winehouse could have had is an exercise in painful uncertainty. If she had her way, she likely would have aged gracefully into an elder statesman of jazz, not unlike her hero Tony Bennett. But addiction and poor life choices led her down a different path, one that would ultimately claim her life at the tragical...
The central motif of Winehouse’s entire career was her dealings with the opposite sex. Whether good or bad, educational or meaningless, healthy or anything but, Winehouse always seemed to get something out of relationships. Often, that something would turn into artistry, but Winehouse was self-aware enough right at the very beginning to ask, ‘What ...
Winehouse and Fielder-Civil were never going to be “just friends”. Even when her lover was in jail and Winehouse had seemingly moved on, the two orbited each other right up to the very end of Winehouse’s life. It was a modern-day Sid and Nancy that the public couldn’t get enough of. So when Winehouse asked her destructive other half when they would...
Amy Winehouse held precious few people as gods in her eyes: Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and her father (unfortunately). One group that could do no wrong in Winehouse’s book was the legendary two-tone ska band The Specials, the same act that helped get Winehouse into music as a youth. Winehouse got the opportunity to play with The Specials during h...
When US audiences put on the first release of Back to Black, they were robbed of one of Amy Winehouse’s best songs. In its place were two remixed versions of tracks that were already on the album. That’s a travesty because ‘Addicted’ is the tragicomedy track that probably best illustrates Winehouse’s real-life struggles, but also her deft sense of ...
