back to black

I'm just mad about Amy Winehouse. Crazy for her. I think she's the most delicious vocalist to appear in the last 30 years. An amazing blend of Dinah Washington, Shirley Bassey, Ronnie Spector and just a bit of Elvira. Addicted to almost everything, perhaps that is what gives her sound that Valley of the Dolls edge. A troubled sparrow, please pray that she pulls herself through.

Here is Back to Black, a virtually perfect perfect perfect song in every way. I've noticed that she's absolutely nailed me with this one. This is where I've been living since December. Take a listen.....

I'd read the trash about Winehouse but it'd eclipsed the music, which I hadn't heard until I stumbled upon the World o' Jeff. This girl is Nina Simone / Billie Holiday reincarnated, complete with addictions. Spellbinding.
More power to her - may she beat her demons.
