Amy Whinehouse

Amy, Amy, what a voice, As from heaven, You’re a jazz singer, Of the ones we can’t forget, Sensitive, you felt guilty, To refuse a photo, You had too big a heart, We asked you a hundred times, How to hunt these people So they can finally understand? My God, what a voice, What love, what love offered, to all who listen to you, You said thank you, tenderly, I say thank you, O Amy, what a voice, It’s hard to understand, I would have been in Belgrade to hear you, Bye, bye, Princess, big black eyes, Sing what you like, It will always be more beautiful, Only a Bach cantata, Amy, Amy, what a voice, An angel, angel in heavens.

Amy was unique, as a singer and probably as a person. Pitty that her life was too short. Beautiful dedication poem. Like it very much!

So talented, such a loss and like many talented creatives, at such a young age. Due to drugs/alchohol/internal conflict. Interesting to come across this poem, as I was listening to her music a few nights ago. Back to Black.

Yann, "What love, what love offered, to all who listen to you" And rightly so.., as I listen to her valor in Valerie., oh man. Better to know Amy Jade in memory and memorium than never to know that enigma of deep contralto in beehive. -Richard

A lovely tribute to the late, talented, beautiful Amy Winehouse. It's tragic she died so young. I saw a very good documentary about her some years ago.

Well, you really liked her. I knew I must have heard most of her songs but I do not pay much attention to names of the artists. Bet she was great.
