LONG LIVE THE SOUL OF AMY WINEHOUSE

I have to apologize...I am having my 100th love affair with Amy! She has been dominating my music selection the past few days and I can't seem to pick any other songs of the day ;)

She was such a remarkable woman, musician, artist and soul. Even after her death, pieces of her soul remain in the music she left behind. I have never seen a musician infuse emotion the way that she did in her own lyrics and music, as well as covers. This woman gripped me 10 years ago now and I have never experienced anything like it!

LONG LIVE THE SOUL OF AMY WINEHOUSE Xx
