Amy Winehouse’s Found Demo Showcases How Much Soul She Had At 17 (Audio)

BY DANA SCOTT / FEBRUARY 27, 2018

When Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning at the age of 27, the music community was shaken to its core after losing one of its boldest vocalists. Early in her short-lived career, the beehive-haired British singer’s musical hybrid of R&B, Jazz, retro-Soul and Hip-Hop on her 2003 debut album Frank gained Winehouse much critical acclaim. But her meteoric rise to international stardom came from her sophomore 2006 LP, Back To Black, led by her chart-topping singles “You Know I’m No Good” and “Rehab.”

Following her July 2011 death, Winehouse’s Universal Music Group record label boss David Joseph vowed not to release any more of her music. In an interview with Billboard, Joseph cited that releasing her music would be immoral to Amy’s legacy. “It was a moral thing. Taking a stem or a vocal is something that would not happen under my watch. It now can’t happen on anyone else’s.”

The English Beat, with DJ Sep at The Guild Theatre at The Guild Theatre

October 12, 2024 from 7pm to 11:45pm
The English Beat first came to prominence as founding members of the British Two Tone/Ska movement, with their classic first album “Just Can’t Stop It” fitting squarely in that genre. Along with their contemporaries The Specials, The Selecter, and Madness, the band became an overnight sensation and one of the most popular and influential bands of that movement. The Beat’s unique sound has allowed it to endure for nearly four decades and appeal to fans, young and old, all over the world. Over…See More
