| Info: Amy Jade Winehouse (14 September 1983 – 23 July 2011) was an English singer-songwriter known for her powerful deep contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres including R&B, soul and jazz. She is credited as an influence in the rise in popularity of female musicians and soul music, and also for revitalising British music. Winehouse's 2003 debut album, Frank, was critically successful in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize. Her 2006 follow-up album, Back to Black, led to six Grammy Award nominations and five wins, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made Winehouse the first British female to win five Grammys, including three of the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. In August 2011 her album Back to Black became the UK's best selling album of the 21st century. Winehouse was found dead on 23 July 2011, at her home in London. On 26 October 2011 a coroner ruled that alcohol poisoning was the cause of death. |
