Hi, everyone. I decided to do my first artist spotlight on Amy Winehouse, because––sadly––she died today. :( It's so unfortunate; she had such a gorgeous, soulful voice, and I wish she could have done so much more. But what she did do was amazing. So ... R.I.P. Amy. You were incredible, and you will be missed.

About: Amy Winehouse, born in London in 1983, was a singer known for her combination of musical genres such as jazz, soul, and R&B. She was influenced by both modern artists and legendary jazz artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. Her soulful voice and creative mix of jazz with popular music earned her both critical and commercial success. In 2006 her album Back To Black was nominated for six Grammy nominations and won all but one of them––tying the record for most wins by a female artist in one night. She was also the first singer from the United Kingdom to win five Grammys.
