So much has been said and written about Amy Winehouse prior to her tragic death and certainly since . I thought I'd take the opportunity to re visit Back to Black today in the quiet of my car on a stifling car journey.
It's only when you hear the tracks back to back without anyone talking over them on the TV saying she wrote this about him, and Donny Hathaway was the influence here that you fully appreciate her brilliance.
For me Love is a Losing game is the stand out track, but that's one of 11 great songs. Her voice is as good as any of the legends she admired and let's not forget she wrote this stuff.
I think sheer genius or legend is too often used , but I'd prefer to remember her as just that and let the rest just fade away into memory
