Storia:
She was an English singer and songwriter.
She was known for her deep, expressive contralto vocals and her eclectic mix of musical genres, including soul (sometimes labelled as blue-eyed soul and neo soul), rhythm and blues, and jazz.
Winehouse's debut album, Frank (2003), was a critical success in the UK and was nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Her follow-up album, Back to Black (2006), led to five 2008 Grammy Awards, tying the then record for the most wins by a female artist in a single night, and made her the first British woman to win five Grammys, including three of the General Field "Big Four" Grammy Awards: Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning on 23 July 2011, at the age of 27.
Her album Back to Black posthumously became, for a time, the UK's best-selling album of the 21st century. It is also listed as one of the best-selling albums in UK chart history.
