Free Encyclopedia.”
Amy Jade Winehouse (born 14 September 1983)
is an Grammy winning English soul, jazz, and R&B singer and songwriter.
Winehouse's 2003 debut album Frank was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Her 2006 album Back to Black led to six Grammy Award nominations
including the "Big Four": Best New Artist, Album of the Year, Record of
the Year and Song of the Year. On 14 February 2007, she won a BRIT Award
for Best British Female Artist; she had also been nominated for Best
British Album. She has won the Ivor Novello Award twice, among other
prestigious distinctions.
Winehouse has created media buzz apart from her singing. Her unique
style, most notably her former signature beehive hairstyle, has spawned
imitators and been the muse for fashion designers, most notably Karl
Lagerfeld. The singer's (and her husband's) struggle with drug and
alcohol addiction, as well as self-destructive behaviour, have become
regular tabloid news since 2007. The couple has also been plagued by
legal troubles that have led to the cancellation of several tour dates.

Early life
Amy Winehouse was born in the Southgate area of Enfield, London to a
Jewish family who share her love of jazz music.[2] She was raised in a
family of four: her father Mitchell (a taxi driver), her mother Janis (a
pharmacist), and her older brother Alex.[3] She grew up in the suburb of
Southgate and attended Southgate School before leaving to go to Ashmole
School. At age ten, Winehouse founded a short-lived rap group called
Sweet 'n' Sour with childhood friend Juliette Ashby.[4] She was trained
at the Sylvia Young Theatre School when she was twelve years old but was
allegedly expelled at fourteen for "not applying herself" and for
piercing her nose.[5][3] With other children from the Sylvia Young
school she appeared in an episode of The Fast Show in 1997.[6]She later
attended the BRIT School in Selhurst, Croydon.
Career
Early career
After toying with her brother's guitar, Winehouse received her first
guitar when she was thirteen, and began writing music a year later. It
was around this time that she dropped out of school, and first started
experimenting with drugs. She began working soon after, including as a
"showbiz journalist" for the World Entertainment News Network in
addition to singing with a jazz band.[3] Her sometime boyfriend, soul
singer Tyler James, sent her demo tape to an A&R person.[2] The tapes
led to her signing with record label Island/Universal under Simon
Fuller's company 19 Management,[7] and to a publishing deal with EMI.
With her first cheque, she moved out with Ashby.[3]
Winehouse hired New York singer Sharon Jones's longtime band, the
Dap-Kings to back her up in the studio and on tour, giving the group its
first real taste of the limelight.[8]
Major label success
Amy Winehouse's debut album, Frank, was released on 20 October 2003. It
was produced mainly by Salaam Remi; many songs had jazz-influences and,
apart from two covers, every song was co-written by Winehouse. The album
received positive reviews[9][10] with compliments over the "cool,
critical gaze" in its lyrics[11] and brought comparisons of her voice to
Sarah Vaughan,[12] Macy Gray and others.[11]
The album entered the upper levels of the UK album chart in 2004 when it
was nominated for BRIT Awards in the categories of "British Female Solo
Artist" and "British Urban Act". It went on to achieve platinum
sales.[13] Later in 2004, she won the Ivor Novello songwriting Award for
"Best Contemporary Song" with her contribution to the first single,
"Stronger Than Me" (alongside Salaam Remi).[14] The album also made the
short list for the 2004 Mercury Music Prize. In the same year, she
performed at the Glastonbury festival, on the Jazzworld stage, and at
the V Festival.
After the release of the album, Winehouse commented that she was "only
80 percent behind [the] album" because of the inclusion by her record
label of certain songs and mixes she disliked.[2] Upon the release of
her second album, she stated "I can’t even listen to Frank any more — in
fact, I’ve never been able to. I like playing the tracks live because
that’s different, but listening to them is another story."[15] She later
clarified this, saying: "I listen to it differently now. I am still
really proud of it, I still think it's a great album. But, with
hindsight, there are some things I would have done differently... Just
because I would do things a bit differently now doesn't mean I don't
like what's on that album."[16]
International success
In contrast to her jazz-influenced former album, Winehouse's focus
shifted to the girl groups of the 1950s and 1960s. In an interview,
Winehouse explained, "After Frank I didn’t write for 18 months but when
I met Mark [Ronson] I pretty much wrote the album in six months—he was
so inspiring."[15] In early 2006, Winehouse's demonstration tracks such
as Wake Up Alone and Rehab appeared on Mark Ronson's New York radio show
on East Village Radio. These were some of the first new songs played on
the radio after the release of Pumps and both were slated to appear on
her second album. The eleven-track album was produced entirely by Salaam
Remi and Ronson, with the production credits being split between them
almost equally. Promotion of Back to Black soon began, and in early
October 2006 Winehouse's official website was re-launched with a new
layout and clips of previously unreleased songs.[13]
Back to Black was released in the UK on October 30, 2006. It went to
number one on the UK Albums Chart numerous times, and entered at number
seven on the Billboard 200 in the United States. This was the highest
debut entry for an album by a British female solo artist, only to be
outdone two weeks later by Joss Stone, who debuted at number two with
Introducing Joss Stone.[17] By 25 October the album was approaching 5X
platinum in the UK, making it the best-selling album of 2007 and the top
iTunes album in the UK in 2007.[18][19]
The album spawned a number of singles. The first single released from
the album on 23 October 2006 was the Ronson-produced Rehab.[15] The song
was a #7 single in the UK,[20][21] and won the Ivor Novello award for
best contemporary song on May 24, 2007.[22] Rehab peaked at #9 on the
Billboard Hot 100 in the week of June 21, over a week after a
performance of it on the 2007 MTV Movie Awards. Time magazine named
Rehab one of The 10 Best Songs of 2007, ranking it at #1. Writer Josh
Tyrangiel praised Winehouse for her confidence, opining, “What she is is
mouthy, funny, sultry, and quite possibly crazy” and, "It's impossible
not to be seduced by her originality. Combine it with production by Mark
Ronson that references four decades worth of soul music without once
ripping it off, and you've got the best song of 2007."[23][24]
The album's second single, You Know I'm No Good was released on 8
January 2007 with a remix featuring rap vocals by Ghostface Killah. It
ultimately reached #18 on the UK singles chart. Back to Black was
released in the United States in March 2007, with "You Know I'm No Good"
as its lead single. The title track, Back to Black, was released in the
UK on 30 April 2007 and peaked at #25. A deluxe edition of Back to Black
was also released on November 5, 2007 in the UK. The bonus disc features
B-sides, rare, and live tracks, as well as Valerie. Winehouse's debut
DVD I Told You I Was Trouble: Live in London was released the same day
in the U.K. and November 13 in the U.S. It includes a live set recorded
at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire and a 50-minute documentary charting
the singer's career over the previous four years.[25] On 10 December
2007, the final single from Back to Black, "Love Is a Losing Game", was
released in the United Kingdom and US.
On 20 November 2007, Frank was released in the United States to positive
reviews.[26][27] The album debuted at #61 on the Billboard 200
charts.[28]
In addition to her own album, other artists have released her
collaborations as singles. Winehouse was a vocalist on the song Valerie
on Ronson's solo album Version. The song peaked at #2 in the UK, upon
its October single release. As of 26 November the song had been in the
top 5 for seven weeks {old fact}. The song was nominated for a 2008 Brit
Award for "Best British Single".[29][30][31] Her work with ex-Sugababe
Mutya Buena, "B Boy Baby," was released on 17 December 2007. It will
serve as the fourth single from Buena's solo debut album Real Girl.[32]
By the year's end, Winehouse had garnered much praise and distinction.
The singer earned six 2008 Grammy Award nominations related to Back to
Black. The album itself is up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal
Album. "Rehab" was nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year
and Best Female Pop Performance. The singer herself was nominated for
Best New Artist. Producer Mark Ronson's work on the album earned him a
nomination for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. She will perform at
the awards ceremony via satellite.[33] The nominations, announced in
early December, are credited with bumping up the sales of "Back to
Black" up by 48 percent in the United States, where the re-rose to the
number 82 chart position.[34][35][36][37] Winehouse was the fifth most
eBayed star in 2007 attracting 16,052 sales including dozens of beehive
wigs. [38] In all, she sold a total of 497,310 singles (the 8th
best-selling singles artist of the year) and 2,196,362 albums (the
top-selling albums artist) in her native UK during the year.[citation

As of 13 January of this year, Back to Black held the number one
position on Billboards Pan European charts for the third straight
week.[39]. By the end of that month Universal Music International
reported total sales of the album had reached 3.4 million copies and
that it believed there was a correlation between that figure and the
extensive media coverage the singer has received[40].
Possible future recordings
Pete Doherty said that the Babyshambles are collaborating with the
singer on a song titled "You Hurt The Ones You Love".[41]
Prince has said he would like Winehouse to fly to his Minnesota home to
work on a musical collaboration after Christmas. Previously, Prince has
said that he was a “big fan” of the singer prompting her to reply: “I’m
honoured. I’m a massive fan. I’d love to work with him."[42] George
Michael has written a song in which he wants to duet with the singer.
Michael said "Amy is the best female vocalist I have ever heard in my
entire career, as well as one of the best writers."[43]
According to Ronson, the singer is writing songs and he imagines they
will get in the studio in 2008. Based on her demos, he foresees a
"holiday record with Christmas songs on one side and Hanukkah songs on
the other."[44]
Winehouse is also said to be working with Missy Elliott and hip-hop
producer Timbaland.[citation needed]
Following the release of the box office hit, the 21st James Bond film,
Casino Royale, there were rumours that Winehouse had been approached to
sing the theme tune to the film's sequel, Quantum of Solace (film).
The singer plans to travel to Jamaica to work with Damian Marley son of
reggae legend Bob Marley[45]
Touring
Winehouse toured in conjunction with the album's release. She joined
Patrick Wolf as an opening act on some of his dates.[citation needed]
She performed headlining gigs in September and November 2006, including
one of the Little Noise Sessions charity concerts at the Union Chapel,
Islington. On December 31, 2006, Winehouse appeared on Jools Holland's
Annual Hootenanny and performed a cover of Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It
Through the Grapevine" along with Paul Weller and Holland's Rhythm and
Blues Orchestra. She also performed Toots and the Maytals' "Monkey Man".
She began a run of another fourteen gigs beginning in February 2007.
Come summer, Winehouse performed at various festivals, including UK's
Glastonbury Festival,[46] Chicago's Lollapalooza festival, Rock Werchter
and Baltimore's Virgin Music Festival. However, among the controversies
surrounding her health, drug use, and her husband, in October 2007 she
was obliged to cancel her tour dates for the remainder of the year.
Winehouse's wardrobe on her recent UK tour was sponsored by the clothing
label Gio-Goi, and it has recently been rumoured that she is to become
the face of the label's 2007 Women's wear collection following in the
footsteps of Pete Doherty, who was the face of menswear.[47]
Personal life
Since her rise to fame, Winehouse has been the subject of much media
attention. In various interviews, Winehouse has denied having bipolar
disorder[citation needed] but has admitted to having problems with
self-harm, depression and eating disorders,[48][3][20] attributing the
latter to insecurities about her appearance.[49][50]
On the morning of 18 May 2007, Winehouse married on-off boyfriend Blake
Fielder-Civil in Miami, Florida.[51] In August 2007 Winehouse cancelled
a number of shows in the UK and Europe, citing exhaustion and ill
health, and both she and Fielder-Civil entered a rehab facility.[52]
However, they left after just five days.[53] Winehouse's father
subsequently voiced concerns that his daughter and her husband would at
some point "reach rock bottom". The singer's parents-in-law also made
their fears public, and urged fans and the industry to boycott her music
in an attempt to halt her decline.[54] In a separate interview, her
mother-in-law said she was worried that Amy and Blake had become so
inseparable that if one were to commit suicide, the other would
follow.[55] In January 2008 Winehouse's father reported their marriage
was undergoing difficulties.[56]
In August 2007 the singer and her husband were photographed bloodied and
bruised in the streets of London after a hotel room fight allegedly
started when, according to the singer as quoted by a tabloid newspaper,
she was spotted by her husband doing drugs with a call
girl.[57][unreliable source?][58] Later, on 2 December, images of the
singer outside her home, in the early morning hours, barefoot and
wearing only a bra and jeans appeared on the internet and in some
tabloid newspapers. In a statement her spokesperson blamed paparazzi
harassment for the incident and said: "The constant bombardment by
certain agency photographers at her home has increased anxiety and
caused disturbance." The spokesperson also reported that the singer was
in a program being supervised by doctors and channeling her difficulties
by writing a lot of music.[59][60][61] Winehouse’s father on 30 December
reported that the singer was still refusing to be admitted into a
rehabilitation facility but that she has started a treatment program
that continued while she was away on holiday. A tabloid reported that
the treatment was occurring at the Caribbean villa of rock singer Bryan
Adams.[62]
The singer ranked number two on Richard Blackwell's 48th annual "Ten
Worst Dressed Women" list, behind Victoria Beckham.[63] On 9 January
2008, news broke that she had changed her famous beehive hair-do, and
dyed her hair peroxide blonde.[64]
The British tabloid The Sun posted a video of a woman, alleged to be
Winehouse, apparently smoking crack cocaine and speaking of having taken
ecstasy and valium. The Daily Telegraph subsequently reported that
Winehouse's father had moved in with her, terrified her continued drug
use would kill her.[65] Island Records, her record label, announced
their plans to abandon its American promotion campaign of her.[66] On 22
January, her spokesperson announced that the singer visited Edward House
— an outpatient department of the Capio Nightingale Hospital
rehabilitation center. Finally, on 24 January, Winehouse entered rehab
(essentially canceling her appearance at the NRJ Awards in France) in
order to get better and to enable her appearance at the upcoming Grammy
Awards. According to the singers father Winehouse spent a night in a
hospital and was put on an intravenous drip after suffering dehydration
from drug withdrawal[67]
Winehouse has joined a campaign to stop a block of flats being built
beside the George Tavern a famous London East End music venue, and has
promised to play a gig there once she leaves her current drugs
rehabilitation programme. Campaign supporters fear the residential
development would end the spot's lucrative sideline as a film and photo
location, on which it relies to survive.[68]
Legal troubles
On 8 September 2007 Winehouse settled a claim for copyright infringement
over the song "He Can Only Hold Her" brought against her by songwriter
and producer P*Nut. His lawyer said he would now receive a share of the
copyright from the song and payment of costs. Previously he had received
a "thank you" for his contribution but no songwriter credit on the
album.[69]
In October 2007, Winehouse and her husband were arrested in Norway for
possession of cannabis. The couple were later released and fined 3850
Norwegian kroner (around £350).[70] The Bergen, Norway police chief
confirmed Winehouse has been summoned to appear in court there stating
"If one appeals a conviction, it's the rule that one has to appear in
person". The singer claims she was "duped" into confessing to possession
of illegal drugs. Police say they are sure she knew what was in the
confession she signed and that fluent English speakers helped her.[71]
She also vowed to fight the United States ban on her travel there
triggered by the arrest.[72]
Fielder-Civil and four other men were arrested on 9 November 2007 on a
charge of trying to pervert the course of justice in relation to an
assault on a bartender in June 2007 at the Macbeths public house in
Hoxton, east London;[73] he allegedly offered to pay the victim £200,000
to withdraw his complaint.[74][75] He was denied bail and remains in
custody, pending investigation.[76] As Fielder-Civil is not known to
have any income independent of his wife, Winehouse also came under
investigation for any role she might have had and officers visited the
singer’s accountants—the London-based firm Smallfield Cody—in an attempt
to track her financial dealings. About a week later, on December 18,
Winehouse voluntarily submitted to arrest, and was released on bail
without charges being filed. The singer was ordered to return to a
Metropolitan Police station in early March. Police have confiscated her
mobile phone records, bank details and computer software.[77][78]
After the aforementioned 19-minute drug video was passed on to Scotland
Yard, Metropolitan Police on 23 January 2008 confirmed its officers were
investigating .[66][79]. She was questioned by police about the video on
5 February[80]
The singer has been granted a U.S. visa a document necessary for
entering the country after at first being denied the document for the
“use and abuse of narcotics". The decision came to late for her to
appear live at the 2008 Grammy Awards show [81]
Controversy
Winehouse's dichotomous public image of critical and commercial success
versus personal turmoil has proven to be controversial. The New
Statesman magazine called Winehouse "a filthy-mouthed, down-to-earth
diva."[82] People magazine called her "a perfect storm of sex kitten,
raw talent and poor impulse control."[83] In late 2006, she heckled Bono
(of U2) during an awards show speech he gave.[3] In November 2007, the
opening night of a 17-date tour was marred by booing and walkouts at the
National Indoor Arena in Birmingham. A music critic for the Birmingham
Mail newspaper said it was "one of the saddest nights of my life... I
saw a supremely talented artist reduced to tears, stumbling around the
stage and, unforgivably, swearing at the audience."[84] Other concerts
ended similarly,[85][86] until it was announced on November 27, 2007,
that Amy Winehouse has called off all gigs and other public appearances
for the remainder of 2007, after her doctor advised her to take complete
rest. A statement issued by concert promoter Live Nation blamed "the
rigours involved in touring and the intense emotional strain that Amy
has been under in recent weeks" for the decision.[87] Karen Heller with
The Philadelphia Inquirer summarized the maelstrom this way:
She's only 24 with six Grammy nods, crashing headfirst into success and
despair, with a codependent husband in jail, exhibitionist parents with
questionable judgment, and the paparazzi documenting her emotional and
physical distress. Meanwhile, a haute designer [Karl Lagerfeld]
appropriates her disheveled style and eating issues to market to the
elite while proclaiming her the new Bardot.[88]
Come 2008, her continued drug problems threatened her very career. Even
as Nick Gatfield, the president of Island Records, toyed with the idea
of releasing Winehouse "to deal with her problems", he remarked on her
talent, saying, "It’s a reflection of her status [in the US] that when
you flick through the TV coverage [of the Grammys] it’s her image they
use."[66]
In the days before her entry into rehabilitation, The Times, in a break
of its normal custom of not devoting space to the "saga of pop singers,"
editorialized that the government should force the singer into
rehabilitation. The editorial, in part, read:
"The State's actions could save a great talent. She desperately needs to
be brought into rehabilitation and, this time, to stay put there for
weeks if not months. The means to that end have to be found. Pope's
epistle has much to say that is apt for human failings.a[›] Apart from
raising the fate of the butterfly, he ponders 'if there be force in
virtue or in song.' There is force in virtue and, on occasion, virtue in
force. In this instance, it is the one way of saving Winehouse and her
song."[89]
The 2008 NME Awards demonstrated mixed feelings towered Winehouse. The
singer was nominated for awards in the categories of "Villain of the
Year","Worst Dressed Performer","Best Solo Artist", and "Best Music DVD"
