Amy Winehouse
English singer-songwriter (1983-2011) · United Kingdom · On the map · Musicians · Died at 27
A contralto voice that borrowed from 1960s soul and jazz, paired with lyrics that laid out every crack in the foundation. Back to Black made her one of the biggest-selling artists of the 2000s and won five Grammys in one night, but the songs about not wanting rehab turned out to be more documentary than metaphor.

About this person
Amy Jade Winehouse grew up in a jazz-loving Jewish household in Enfield, played with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and landed at Island Records in 2002 after a friend passed her demo along. Frank (2003) brought critical praise and an Ivor Novello Award for "Stronger Than Me", but it was Back to Black (2006) - recorded with Salaam Remi, Mark Ronson, and the Dap-Kings - that became a global phenomenon. "Rehab" hit the top ten worldwide, and at the 2008 Grammys she took five awards including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist, tying the record for a female artist and becoming the first British woman to win five in one night. Addiction, mental illness, and bulimia pulled her under through it all. She died of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011, at 27.
