In her tragically short career, Amy Winehouse gave the world a glimpse of what might have been. For a few years her star burned brightly, before the 27-year old with the soulful voice and emotionally drenched lyrics was fatally undone by her own personal demons. This CD includes 26 Amy’s favourite tracks, from Ella Fitzgerald to Phil Spector, via Bebop, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Motown and many other styles. This compilation is a tribute to Amy’s music and represents the sounds which bought her happiness, joy and inspiration during a life lived with the type of gusto most of us can barely imagine.
