Amy Winehouse's close friend, Russell Brand wrote a beautiful remembrance on his official website; “From her oddly dainty presence came that voice, a voice that seemed not to come from her but from somewhere beyond even Billie and Ella, from the font of all greatness. A voice that was filled with such power and pain that it was at once entirely human yet laced with the divine. My ears, my mouth, my heart and mind all instantly opened.”
With her soulful voice, raw lyrics, unapologetic attitude and unique sense of style, Amy’s musical impact will never be forgotten.
Here are two of my favourite examples of that voice...
RIP Amy.
