Amy Winehouse

[Deskdiary]

I've just finished watching Amy, a fantastic documentary.

Amy Winehouse hit my music bone square on.

For me she was the most talented musical person in my lifetime - I loved her to bits, so was absolutely gutted when she died.

Without question she had enormous demons, but it's clear to me that Blake Fielder was the foil that lead to her death - he was a total ahole. Complete scumbag.

Where would she be now if she hadn't met this piece of detritus?

[Cloverjo]

We’ll never know. She was undeniably talented, but a car crash waiting to happen even without Fielder-Civil. Very sad indeed.

[andy-hughes]

Probably in the same place.

Everyone's demons are their own, finally, it's you that takes you down.

[Peter Pedant]

what happened to the fella?
poisoned hiumself yet?

Love is a Losing Game, my all time favourite.

[Cloverjo]

He’s still alive I think. Can’t see any reports of his death, or anything that he’s doing now.

Margo - that was 2012.

"Valerie" became so associated with Amy Winehouse that I heard Dave McCabe of The Zutons asked once (at interview) if the band would be doing their Amy Winehouse cover; Dave, resigned, just said "probably".

[Mamyalynne]

He was arrested November 2019 for Arson.

Such is life.

When I saw Peter Green on one of the first of his comeback gigs, when he and the band had completed an incendiary version of Black Magic Woman, the great man said, with a wry smile, "I didn't know there were so many Santana fans in here tonight …"

[MargoTester]

You're right Andy, beg pardon.

He's that gift that just keeps on giving isn't he ...

[Mamyalynne]

He is.

Not a problem - an easy mistake to make - but given his arson charge last year, it does rather point to a pattern of behaviour.

[MargoTester]

Some things never change.

[ummmm]

The last I seen of him was an interview on This Morning. He looked proper rough.

Andy - people without demons can be easily influenced. It's a personality flaw.

[Gromit]

Salaam Remi, Mark Ronson, and the Dap-Kings are also very talented. And often forgotten.

[Deskdiary]

Her collaboration with Tony Bennett is one of the best pieces of music I think I’ve ever heard.

[Deskdiary]

Salem Remi possibly, Gromit, but Ronson, no way.

You all just leave my Amy alone ....OK? I miss her still, and in my secret life I look after and care for her. That is all she ever needed. I cannot even watch an old performance without being choked. Another corrupted Angel.
