Legendary singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse passed away on July 23, 2011 at the age of 27. Amy was born on September 14, 1983 in Southgate, North London. Over the following years, she developed a style of music including elements of soul, jazz, and R & B. She gained widespread public recognition following the release of her 2003 hit single "Stronger Than Me". Her two albums, "Frank" and "Back to Black", grappled with topics including substance abuse and her personal struggles. The latter album, released in 2006, hid her talent and was hailed as her magnum opus. It was the fifth best-selling album of the 2000s in the UK and earned her five Grammy awards subsequently. Amy was respected for her vulnerability, her message of self-acceptance and compassion, and most importantly, for her powerful vocal range, making her one of the finest vocalists of her generation. Her work continues to echo in the hearts of music-lovers all around the world. Amy will be remembered as a true music icon and her legacy is forever engraved.
